Abstract
The 'parallax view' evokes three sources: the optical characteristic of the hologram, a shifting visual viewpoint; the eponymous American film (1974, director A. J. Pakula), a rather paranoid thriller focusing on conspiracy theories concerning government and corporations; and the eponymous book (2006) by Slavoj Zizek, a wide-ranging and deep exploration of duality in political views, ontological interpretations and scientific methods. During the first successful decade of holography, conflicting viewpoints developed between distinct communities: the militarily-guided engineers who invented practical holography, and the later imaging scientists and artisans who stressed three-dimensionality and other attributes instead of the original goal of optical image processing. By investigating these distint perspectives, the history of the subject and its underlying context are revealed.
