MULTIPLEX (INTEGRAL) HOLOGRAPHY
The white-light viewable multiplex hologram, also called an 'integral hologram' was invented by Lloyd Cross, a physicist turned artist turned educator in 1971. This form of holography combined motion-picture frame sequences (shot photographically in 2D) with a form of projected (aerial) image holography in the making of spatially 'multiplexed' (thin strips of squeezed images set side by side in a row) transmission holograms, first laser viewable only, later viewable by white light. He demonstrated this invention and concept in a series of stages (and "Mark Series Printers"), first as a crude 40-image animation on a small piece of film, then as more sophisticated and larger displays made by more sophisticated automated printers, including the final displays illuminated by white light as a series of products that were marketed all over the world. His story reveals the beginnings:
