      That is an excellent question. I’m afraid that I don’t now the answer. I would probably start by speaking to my friends in the Physics department at University!
      I hope one of the other engineers can help out!

      I don’t know either but it will probably involve creating a cloud of points with light in 3D which add up to make a picture.

      Good Question Razza

      I think you have beaten the engineers 🙂
      I don’t know the answer either ! But engineers don’t know everything we do like to know everything though… think we will all be googling this one tonight !

      This is a great question – I’m learning a lot from answering these – even if I’m learning what I don’t know!
      I’m afraid this falls into an area I’m not sure of – I’d try looking at this wikiHow link: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Hologram but it does say you need some specific supplies!
      Maybe it’s something you could persuade your teacher to try out in class?

      That got me beat too. Fascinating to see how you can make one at home, Wiki is full of interesting information!
