Scientific Games (SG)’s latest announcement of FusionHolo™ has drawn attention to the market for holographic instant games. According to The Business Research Company’s Lottery Global Market Report 2024, the global lottery market is projected to expand from $283 billion in 2023 to $425 billion by 2028, indicating immense potential for holography in instant games. This article explores recent developments and innovations as holography elevates instant game portfolios.

As the number of stars and celebrities whose holopresence has been posthumously captured continues to increase, Holography News® reports on two famous performers that have recently been immortalised in light. And one that is on the brink.

The work of most holographers involves recording or calculating the light reflected from a reflective/absorbent surface or from the internal volume contained within a partially transmissive surface.

The process of holographic mastering can be a combination of art and science, which makes it interesting to explore the thinking behind the subject matter chosen by the originator.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have built a formidable reputation for developing physical holographic origination techniques.

Holography scientists, technologists and artists alike are often guilty of bemoaning the (mis)use of the term ‘holography’ to describe augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) displays such as HoloLens. But is there a case to say that depictions of holograms on film, TV and other ‘flat’ media have actually foreseen, and perhaps motivated, developments in 3D imaging techniques?
