I was cleaning out one of my email inboxes this week, and I found an email I
got about a program that, in fact, allows you to print very simple
holograms onto transparencies using a laser printer. One of the options is
to use an XML syntax to define a bunch of points. In about 30 seconds, I
was able to use Surcoat (Thanks Tim!) to create a properly formatted file,
and the program seemed to accept the input. Unfortunately, I won't have
access to a laser printer until tomorrow, so I don't know yet if the
holograms can be detailed enough to make this useful.. Luckily, I should
have access to a printer double the quality of the one used on the site.

Check out http://www.medcosm.com/MedCosm_CGHMaker.html for more info on the
program, and I'll post my source in p.b.s-f.

I just realized that meshes ought to be able to go through a similar
process. If this works, there are a lot of ideas running round my head.
