## History, Related work and Acknowledgments
Myself and other V1E forum members stumbled (~2023/2) onto [Steve Mould's Specular Hologram video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-38lwV6vc),
we collectively had a [speculative discussion](https://forum.v1e.com/t/drag-knife-and-laser-etched-specular-holograms/36888)
on how to get our CNC/Laser machines to achieve great results, that poor Steve was painstakingly doing by hand.

We wanted to see what's possible with our CNCs and Lasers.

* $50 Holocraft app, is listed for sale @ https://deftware.myshopify.com/products/holocraft, looks
interesting. I have **NOT** tried the app. Mentioning here incase it's a good fit for what
you're looking for.


## Using HoloZens
Currently (2024/1/3) you need to clone/download this code, compile in Visual Studio and run on Windows.
Currently (2024/1/3), you'll need some patience and determination... Clone/download this code, compile in
Visual Studio and run on Windows. I haven't made time/prioritized packaging this up in a way that'd work for more people.

Watch the YouTube video for quick overview, ping me if you want more detailed video/instructions showing
how to use. I'll try to put something together if there's enough interest.

Please share if you make something interesting and/or learn techniques that are helpful to know. Cheers!
