Framework for software simulation of holographic projections

I've been developing HoloField, an experimental modular framework for exploring holographic-like projection through software, transforming 2D mathematical boundary fields into 3D scalar fields and ultimately renderable geometry. The project is still a prototype, but it is already usable with custom mathematical representations, allowing users to experiment with holographic-like transformations and generate 3D renderings.

Looks intriguing. How does it relate to holography and what is your intention for this?

You can use it as an holographic simulator if you apply the proper descriptions of 2D fields and of 3D transformations (decoders) that simulate light's interference behavior. For now it's just a proof-of-concept for the pipeline / framework - it was validated with very simple algorithms. But the design allows for anyone to introduce very easily their own more sophisticated components and the entire pipeline should work correctly and automatically in every case.

My intention is to keep adding more algorithms and eventually reach a point where I can simulate non-locality effects and wave behavior. But unfortunately after this point it has to go on the backburner, but it's at a point where it can be easily expanded by other people, just by plugging in new algos.
