Recording: a plane reference wave and a spherical wave from the object point interfere on the hologram plane (bottom line of the scene), producing a fringe pattern whose spacing is d = λ / (2 sin(θ/2)). Reconstruction: illuminating the recorded fringes with the reference beam alone diffracts light to reproduce the object wave, forming a virtual image. Drag or tap the scene to move the object point.
