Ulrich notes:Hungarian-born electrical engineer, Dennis Gabor first described holography in 1948 and won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1971 for his invention, a system of lenseless, three-dimensional photography that has many applications. ...
The technology of embossed holography was developed by Steve McGrew in California and became a reality in 1979 when it became possible to transfer holographic information from light sensitive glass plates to nickel embossing shims.
Light Impressions was set up in 1982 by Steve McGrew and John Brown to develop the commercial potential of this new technology.
