HAPI - The Holography Library

This is a simple library for computing holograms. It supports multiple algorithms the most interesting of which is ray tracing. The program in the ray directory is a basic test of this. The current system only ray traces spheres, since it is used for testing the underlying algorithm. The HAPI directory contains the library, which is statically linked with the test programs.

The two external dependencies are jansson and freeimage, you may need to change project settings to correctly link to them.

Each program needs a display.halo file which must be in the same directory as the .exe file. Several sample ones are included.

device.halo - the same as device512.halo device512.halo - a 512x512 abstract device, good for testing device6500.halo - device file for the LightCrafter 6500 device devicelightcrafter.halo - device file for the LightCrafter 3000 device deviceSquare.halo - a 1024x1024 abstract device, good for testing
