simultaneous beams of light that interfere with each other to form a complex
image on a suitable photographic film. These two beams of lights are created
by splitting a light source in two with one source reflecting light from the
object to be photographed on the film and the other falling directly on it from
the source. The image developed in this way is the hologram. The light source
used for holography is usually a laser light. When light from any source falls
on the film hologram, it changes this light to reconstruct the light pattern of
coherent light (i.e. laser light). One beam is shone directly on the recording
medium and acts as a reference to the light scattered from the illuminated

For decades now, writing on paper is the common way of taking down
notes. However, paper is made of trees. The loss of trees and other vegetation
can cause climate change, desertification, soil erosion, fewer crops, flooding,

A sensor is used to track the movement of the specialized pen when it hits the
holographic display. The pen’s point has a property that is easier to be tracked
by the device’s sensor for better tracing purpose. The device then processes
what the user writes and projects it back to the display in real time. This way

Greetings!
We are the students of the University of Cebu-Banilad Campus taking up Bachelor of Science in
Information Technology. We are conducting a study on the practicability and viability of our
proposed device, the Holographic Writingpad, as an alternative to the traditional way of writing
and taking down notes.
In connection with this, we would like to request for your kind approval to distribute
questionnaires to any of your class to conduct the study. We assure the confidentiality of the
information that will be gathered.
With appreciation,
