Definition

Holography as an architectural decoration is an application of holography to the everyday living space of a building.

Introduction

Applications of holography have been developed and implemented in many fields; display holography is the most important and exciting application (Ishii 2006b). Various types of holograms exist, each of which has its own unique color or luster characteristics; some examples are reflection, laser transmission, white light transmission (rainbow), silver halide, and dichromate gelatin (DCG) holograms. In particular, the DCG reflection hologram exhibits certain favorable characteristics such as a metallic luster or pearl color. The white light transmission (rainbow) hologram is particularly impressive because of the way it displays the colors of the light (Ishii and Tsujiuchi 2008).
