How to Make a Hologram

The video explores the concept of augmented reality and hologram technology, focusing on Microsoft's HoloLens. It explains how 3D videos, known as free viewpoint videos, are created using advanced technology. The process involves capturing visual information with a special studio setup, using RGB and IR cameras to record both color and depth. The footage is processed into a compact 3D video file, suitable for playback on devices like the HoloLens. Challenges in capturing translucent materials and the need for advanced technology are discussed, with hopes for simpler hologram creation in the future.
