It is also the highest resolution imaging technology in the world today. In other words, the recorded object has true three dimensions in space, not just a visual representation of 3D from 2D sources. Unlike other 3D stereographic technologies that have preceded it, holography provides true 3-dimensional SPATIAL imaging. Holography is a Nobel prize-winning field of optical physics (Dennis Gabor, 1971). Each piece is an extraordinary artifact in the history of the Shroud of Turin. Shown here is an authentic, original Shroud of Turin photograph taken by Secondo Pia in 1898 (top), a life-size 3D computer generated lenticular photograph of the face in the Shroud (bottom, left), and a commemorative silk fabric (only 100 made) which was touched to the Shroud during its 1898 exhibition in Turin, Italy (bottom, right). (above): For my Shroud of Turin presentations and exhibits, I bring along very rare historical artifacts. Whether or not you believe that the Shroud of Turin is the actual burial cloth of Jesus Christ, it remains the most scientifically studied artifact in world history. It is believed by opponents to be a forgery, with various dates and methods of creation. It is believed by proponents to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ and a physical testament / record of his crucifixion and resurrection. The image is recorded onto only the top surface of each fiber, with a depth of approx. Therefore, it is believed that the man was laid upon the cloth, and then the cloth was folded over him. It contains both the anterior (front) and posterior (back) images. It contains an "image" of a man who has been beaten and crucified. I can say that the Shroud of Turin (Holy Shroud) is an ancient linen cloth that measures 14'3" long (4.36m long and 1.10m wide). I would suggest that you access the vast amount of information online, or in print, for that information. I have no authority or expertise concerning the past history of scientific and technical investigations into the Shroud of Turin. What is the Shroud of Turin or Holy Shroud? (above): The Holy Shroud of Turin (anterior). I propose that the non-destructive recording of laser 3D holograms of linen fibers could provide an opportunity to break this long-held scientific and technological investigative barrier. ![]() ![]() Visual examination relies on already-existing, traditional, photographic documentation. The Shroud of Turin has always been a somewhat limited resource for scientists in that access for physical examination is heavily restricted. ![]() It is this aspect of holography that we will be discussing with regards to the Shroud of Turin. While the method of photography provides for the capture and recording of brightness and contrast, the method of holography adds an additional element of dimension: through the constructive and destructive interference of a spatially coherent light source. It is also important to not get your holographic information from anyone who has not actually worked with holography, as (1) contrary to popular belief, there is little in common between photography and holography, and (2) there continues to be vast amounts of inaccurate information concerning what a hologram is, and isn't. It is of paramount importance for the reader to not confuse what is known as the "photographic evidence" with the "holographic evidence". That, and much more, is possible with the Nobel prize-winning field of laser holography. Proof-of-concept: The author examines the ability to continue true, spatial 3D visual examination of the Holy Shroud of Turin long after it has been returned to its safekeeping.
