Digital holograms of real-world objects are an exciting new form of 3D media, to which visual perception and 3D image processing studies are only now being applied. We offer a research opportunity in international multipartner multidisciplinary projects on digital hologram displays. Opportunities will exist to conduct research at partner institutions in Europe, travel to relevant summer schools, and to present research results at international conferences.
