   There have been several running discussions on this in comp.graphics and
a few other newsgroups.  As I recall this is being done as you read this.
I don't remember any of the names but there are several people doing research
in this area and at least one commercial outfit manufacturing holograms from
computer data.  I have a friend here at the U of I who has developed a method
of producing holograms from 2 or more photographs (stereo pairs), obviously it
would be simple to make those photographs with a computer and a film recorder.
