1. A method of presenting a holographic display of a remote work site comprising;
- creating a database of three dimensional surface points of said remote work site;
dividing said database into a plurality of two dimensional depth planes;
exposing a near-real-time holographic recording material with each of said two dimensional depth planes;
developing said holographic recording material to produce a full-parallax three-dimensional image of said remote work site;
viewing said full-parallax three-dimensional image;
whereby a near-real-time hologram image simulating natural vision is provided for remote manipulation of an object.

Abstract
A near-real-time holographic display for operations at a remote work site where a three dimensional database is collected with a laser range scanner. The database is then divided into discrete two dimensional segments or depth planes. A holographic recording material is then sequentially exposed to multiple depth planes through a stack of three spatial light modulators in a multiplane exposure process. This procedure is repeated for all depth planes in the database. The holographic recording material is then rapidly developed for viewing of the remote work site in a holographic image that simulates natural vision.
