The principle of holography, discovered by Gabor in 1948 remains the single technique for exact three-dimensional image display. Within the current widespread development of optical techniques, holography has found significant applications, beyond three dimensional imaging,
in non-destructive testing, measuring, and diffractive optical
elements, amongst others.
HODIC was established to provide a forum for the exchange of
information on holographic techniques and applications, especially
those relating to full dimensional imaging. To adequately cover
both the broad extent of this field, as well as the full current
of recent technical advances, HODIC operates as a constituent group
of the Optical Society of Japan (Nihon Kou GakKai).
HODIC members are drawn from diverse backgrounds, including
both national and international researchers, employees of corporate
and private industries engaged in the business aspects of
holography, holographic artists, and from private individuals
with an interest in holography and related technologies.
- Sponsorship of Technical Meetings
ln accordance with the bylaws, meetings are held 4 times per year,
and at each meeting approximately 3-5 papers will be presented. The themes of the papers will include recent technical developments in holographic and other three-dimensional displays, holographic
art, the business of holography, and the like.
- Publication of the Joumal, "HODIC Circular"
This magazine will be published 4 times annually, and will contain information of current
interest to holographers. Summaries of the papers presented at the technical meetings will
be included. The official language of the magazine is Japanese, although articles are published with an English language abstract,
and English language articles are welcomed for inclusion.
- Sponsorship of Special Tours and Hologram Exhibits
According to the interest of members, guided visits will be arranged
to sites of special interest. Moreover, the society will sponsor
an annual hologram exhibit for the display of the members' recent
works.
- The society provides assistance at special events related to Holography.
- Finally, instructional activities are sponsored in the fields of Holography and other three-dimensional displays.
Notification of upcoming technical meetings is published in a variety
of sources, these being the joumals, "HODIC Circular"
and "KouGaku" of the Japan Optical Society, as well as the magazines,
"O+E", "ShaShin KouGyou", and "Optronics". Moreover, information about upcoming meetings and events can be acquired from this WEB site.
