✦ Synopsis


We have designed and built a special-purpose computer for the reconstruction of virtual images in three dimensions, HORN-i (HOlographic ReconstructioN). HORN-i calculates light intensity at high speed. The speed of HORN-i achieves 300 Mflops-equivalent, and its electric parts cost is 60000 Japanese yen (500 US dollar). It takes about 24 minutes to reconstruct a 100 x 100 x 8 virtual image from a 400 x 400 hologram.
