Digital (or electronic) holography and its application to 3-D display
is one of the formidable problems of evolving areas of high technology
that has been receiving great attention in recent years. Indeed, the
"Holy Grail" for 3-D display is the realization of life-size
interactive 3-D displays. Obviously, we are not there yet, but advances
in 3-D display allow us to make important steps towards the Holy Grail.
The theme of this book is to organize a collection of key chapters that
covers digital holography and 3-D display techniques so as to provide
the reader with the state-of-the-art developments in these important
areas around the world.
