Education
An idealized, single-point-source holography demo: record the interference pattern between a point object and a plane reference wave, then illuminate that recorded pattern to reconstruct a genuine virtual image of the original point. Change the reconstruction beam's wavelength or angle from the original recording and watch the reconstructed image shift position — a real, well-known property of how holograms behave. A clean, honest way to see the two-step "record, then reconstruct" logic behind holography without needing a full 3D scene.

About Simplified Holography
Simplified Holography is an interactive learning tool on VTC. An idealized, single-point-source holography demo: record the interference pattern between a point object and a plane reference wave, then illuminate that recorded pattern to reconstruct a genuine virtual image of the original point. Change the reconstruction beam's wavelength or angle from the original recording and watch the reconstructed image shift position — a real, well-known property of how holograms behave. A clean, honest way to see the two-step "record, then reconstruct" logic behind holography without needing a full 3D scene. It runs in your web browser and is free to use, and suits students, teachers and self-learners.
