Well, the main thrust of this list has always been 3D photography
and I'm afraid it would get too busy if we included holography.
Is there no holography list?

Just for reference, here's the charter:

The e-mail mailing list named "photo-3d" has been established for the
purposes of discussing 3D photography and closely allied subjects.  In
this list, 3D is defined as the presentation of separate and different
images to the left and right eyes.  This definition is not intended to
exclude lenticular presentations or the Pulfrich effect or "wallpaper"
stereograms.  However, it _is_ intended to exclude discussions of, for
instance, perspective drawing and "ray tracing" (often called 3D by
people in other fields) and is also intended to limit the discussion of
holography to headlines only, inasmuch as holography is a radically
different technique.  Unfortunately, this is not the place to post 3D
computer images; many subscribers cannot afford to receive messages that
large.  We have available a number of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
in our ftp directory.  Also in the ftp site are a number of stereo image
files.  The ftp site is at bobcat.etsu.edu under pub/photo/photo-3d.

Discussions of the following (in no particular order) are encouraged.

Topics:
3D art
3D equipment and products, both commercial and home-brew
3D personal experiences
3D techniques
3D theory

Media:
3D photographic stills and movies
3D television
3D computer graphics

Please limit your post's width to the standard 80 columns or fewer so
your posts will look right to all list members. Here is what 80 columns
looks like:

        10        20        30        40        50        60        70        80

Flaming and spamming are the two big taboos on this list and generally
result in summary dismissal.  [We hate to be harsh but you have to realize
that this is an enormous list and managing it leaves little time for
individualized tutorials on the subject of list etiquette.  If you have
any doubt about the advisability of a type of post, look and see if it's
commonly done on this list before leaping or write to the moderators.]
