This home-page gives enough information to get started and also includes an order form for the photographic plates and chemicals needed to develop the holograms. Also, another page discusses the same techniques and materiels, but comes with some nifty pictures (2-d of course) of the final outcome."

    How long until we have instructions on how to make a Holodeck?

  2. 650 nm laser...hmmm by user32.ExitWindowsEx · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The laser pointer they used has a 650 nm laser...hmmm.
    Wonder what a hologram of a DVD would look like, given that 4.7 GB DVD-R discs use 650 nm lasers in the recording process?
