 I saw some work by [August Muth](https://www.augustmuth.com/about) in the [Vladem Contemporary](https://www.augustmuth.com/about), which turned me on to holography.  **Resources...**

+- [Holographic Studios](https://holographer.com) NYC (26th st btwn 2nd & 3rd ave)---offers tours (by appointment) and classes--**update: 16 Feb 2024** I went there and took the VIP tour.  Dr. Laser is super nice and has some cool holograms (of many different styles), and he led us through the process of making an OK hologram. We all wished it was more technical (our group included scientist and a photographer and a person whose Dad made holograms back in the 1970s before going on to computer nerdery...and we said so).  The basement lab is cluttered and dirty, it gave us all some anxiety after spending a bunch of time down there.

-- [LitiHolo](https://www.litiholo.com/3d-hologram-printer.html) print holograms
+- [LitiHolo](https://www.litiholo.com/3d-hologram-printer.html) print holograms.  Also sells kits for making holograms. A neat aspect is that they have self-developing film that eliminates the need for a darkroom AND an optical arrangement that avoids the need to have a vibration isolation table.
 - [LookingGlass Factory](https://lookingglassfactory.com) digital light-field display---send your Unity/Blender/etc. models to this to view.  Small size is $300, large monitors available. Based in BK
 
+# DIY:
+- [Handmade holograms?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv-38lwV6vc) Yeah...just make careful scratches in a shiny surface...
+    - one of the best practitioners of this is [Matt Brand](http://zintaglio.com).  Apparently [MoMath in NYC](http://zintaglio.com/where.html) has some of his work on display  
+    - [Instructables](https://www.instructables.com/The-Scribe-bot-a-Machine-to-Create-Scratch-Hologra/) on how to build a bot to do this (a standard CNC isn't quite right for this)

 # Supplies
 - [International Holographics](https://www.integraf.com) sells a variety of holographic kits, lasers, film, books, etc.
 
+# Services
+- [Holoxica](https://www.holoxica.com/digital-hologram-tech) offers digital hologram printing based on your files (point clouds, etc.)
+- [Geola](https://www.geola.com/product/digital-holography-ilumogram/) sells equipemtn for digital holography and scanning, as well as "artist services", but no details on pricing

 # Other ideas
 
 - Holographic bolo tie! 
     - T-rex coming out at you?
     - Texas long horn
     - rotating cube
-    - This is not so crazy.  Doing some internet searching, it appears that August Muth actually made some holographic art bolo ties that are on the secondary market! ([example](https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/hologram-august-muth-bolo-tie-1943810215)) ([example](https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/hologram-august-muth-bolo-tie-1943807840)) *and more on those pages*
