My INTP mind: *reads about interference patterns in Micheal Crichton's 'Timeline'*

Also my INTP mind: So I guess you could say Dean and Sam Winchester's actions in an alternate universe influenced Eric Kripke's mind to create Supernatural.

“You’re in the hand of the sea. You are the pleasure of breathing it in. Within an order that does not feel, we are this insignificant disorder that feels. A thing to witness the sea.”

~ Marguerite Duras, “The Easy Life”

It’s like every fucking sentence in this book is magic; the distillation of the essence of life or something something.

You’d think by now we’d have more of a holographic printing industry the same way we have desktop publishing or 3D printing.

We’ve slready got 3D scanning setups - imagine using a 3D model built using existing tech, and then building the classic holography table setup virtually - a raytracing render setup using a computed virtual laser, to reproduce a holographic interference pattern entirely in the computer.

Then it can print that computed holographic pattern direct to emulsion - maybe using a scanning pinpoint laser to expose the medium, similar to how film recorders for early CGI worked.

This way, you could take any scanned object, or a synthetic scene ‘diorama’ from a game or 3D design program, and output it to an actual hologram as easily as using a laser printer.

EDIT: Apparently MIT are on the case, with something called tensor holography

EDIT 2: A company called Litiholo is Kickstarting a desktop hologram printer. (h/t: @adogwithadhd)
