Create Holograms
Understanding Holograms
From Lasers to Light Fields
Above holograms by: (from left to right) Margaret Benyon, Rudie Berkhout, Ana-Maria Nicholson, Sam Moree
This course is offered 2 -3 times per year and new material is frequently added to keep the course current. I also invite special guests to join us for specific sessions.
​
You will find much supporting material on the Ruzuku site (when you register) where you will also find recordings of the class sessions shortly after they occur.
