Computer-generated holography (CGH) is a technique that uses computer algorithms to generate holograms.It involves generating holographic interference patterns.A computer-generated hologram can be displayed on a dynamic holographic display, or it can be printed onto a mask or film using lithography.

A holographic display is a type of 3D display that utilizes light diffraction to display a three-dimensional image to the viewer. Holographic displays are distinguished from other forms of 3D displays in that they do not require the viewer to wear any special glasses or use external equipment to be able to see the image, and do not cause a vergence-accommodation conflict.
A holographic screen is a two-dimensional display technology that uses coated glass media for the projection surface of a video projector."Holographic" refers not to a stereoscopic effect, but to the coating that bundles light using formed microlenses.
Optical holography [1] is a technique which enables an optical wavefront to be recorded and later re-constructed. Holography is best known as a method of generating three-dimensional images but it also has a wide range of other applications.
Holography is often used as a plot device in science fiction, appearing in a wide range of books, films, television series, animation and video games.Probably the first reference is by Isaac Asimov in his Foundation series starting in 1951.
Comparison of parallax-barrier and lenticular autostereoscopic displays. Note: The figure is not to scale. Autostereoscopy is any method of displaying stereoscopic images (adding binocular perception of 3D depth) without the use of special headgear, glasses, something that affects vision, or anything for eyes on the part of the viewer.
Holographic optical element (HOE) is an optical component (mirror, lens, directional diffuser, etc.) that produces holographic images using principles of diffraction.HOE is most commonly used in transparent displays, 3D imaging, and certain scanning technologies.
Volumetric displays are one of several kinds of 3D displays. Other types are stereoscopes, view-sequential displays, [2] electro-holographic displays, [3] "two view" displays, [4] [5] and panoramagrams. Although first postulated in 1912, and a staple of science fiction, volumetric displays are not widely used in everyday life. There are ...
