A revolution is currently in progress which promises to change the way in which holograms and other OVDs are delivered to packaging substrates.

The holography industry creates spectacular imagery for applications in art, science and technology. To do this, the industry has developed an intricate jigsaw of equipment, know-how and people.

When considering the role that holography has played in the engineering, technology, art and commercial landscapes, which of the milestones in its development are worthy of celebrating?

Breit Technologies has reached an agreement with Inglese srl to distribute Breit's eco-friendly cast-and-cure films to printers and label companies throughout Italy.

During her time on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II's highly recognisable features were captured in several holograms and other heightened reality imagery – but does King Charles III share the same interest in the medium?

Holographic foils and lenticular lens sheets are established methods for introducing moving colour and dynamic effects to product labelling. But what happens when the label print run is too small to justify the start up costs of these methods?

The IHMA is made up of the world’s leading hologram suppliers and manufacturers. The companies that make up the association come in all shapes and sizes and are distributed across the globe, which Holography News® reflects in this series of member profiles.

The IHMA Patent Newsletter is a monthly review of patents issued in the fields of security, decorative and data storage holography, along with holographic techniques, processes and displays.

Mobile authentication technology company Authentic Vision has announced the US market release of its Meta Anchor™ technology that, it claims, secures the link between physical products and digital value, services and experiences.

There are four items to report in this round up of recent banknote issues using holographic, or other diffractive optically variable, features.

A little known, but curious, use of a hologram’s ability to reconstruct an image as if it were ‘floating’ in space, is for holographic rifle sights. So how does this relatively new type of aiming system work and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

In January of this year, Holography News® reported on the launch of LASINK™ Helios from secure identity services company IDEMIA. The company has now added LASINK™ 3D to the family of technologies aimed at protecting the portrait on an ID document from fraud.

The UV-printable TRILUMIC® holographic stripe first entered the banknote printing market three years ago. Now owners of the technology, Hueck Folien, wants to widen its appeal in thread format.

A technology talk given by a team of researchers from Stanford Computational Imaging Lab at SIGGRAPH 2022 reports on potential improvements to near-eye holographic displays.

The almost unlimited access to high-quality printing services, as well as to sophisticated graphics software, has increased the quality of document forgery in recent years to the point where it is becoming more difficult for border control officers to tell the difference between real and fake secure documents.

The return of in-person conferences after a break of two years has seen a slew of new optical features launched for banknote authentication.

Editor Francis Tuffy provides an update on the creation of the holographic sculptures of his daughters by Dr Ioana Pioaru.

Medical students at Addenbrooke’s Hospital are the first in the world to train on the latest in mixed-reality holographic patients.

The International Hologram Manufacturers Association (IHMA) is made up of the world’s leading hologram suppliers and manufacturers. Each month, Holography News will be profiling a different IHMA member.

Reconnaissance International is preparing for The Holography Conference™, which will be held online, taking place this year from 5-6 December.
