. I mentioned many of the different types of uses for holograms. Now I am going to give you specific examples where you may find such items. As you now they have many uses in the arts, science, and technology fields. Medical fields are able to use images, such as a “CAT scan and have the final image as a three-dimensional hologram.” (www.holoworld.com/holo/quest6) Engineers use holograms to test for fractures in quality control during manufacturing. The testing of strains is of widespread application. It involves making two different holograms of an object being stressed between exposures. If the object has distorted during stressing, the hologram will be greatly changed. They are used in airplanes so the pilot can have critical information while looking through the cockpit windows.
