Interesting ..
Got me thinking … and investigating .. (quotes from Wiki);
Plenoptic camera:
Quote:
A plenoptic camera, also called a light-field camera, and more correctly called a polydioptric camera, is a camera that uses a microlens array (also known as a lenticular lens array) to capture 4D light field information about a scene. ….. Plenoptic cameras are good for following moving objects. A recording from a security camera based upon this technology could be used to produce an accurate 3D model of a suspect
and then ..
Lenticular lens
Quote:
A lenticular lens is an array of magnifying lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different images are magnified.[citation needed] The most common example is the lenses used in lenticular printing, where the technology is used to give an illusion of depth, or to make images that appear to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.
and then …
Integral imaging
Quote:
Integral imaging is an autostereoscopic 3D display, meaning that it displays a 3D image without the use of special glasses on the part of the viewer. It achieves this by placing an array of microlenses (similar to a lenticular lens) in front of the image, where each lens looks different depending on viewing angle. Thus rather than displaying a 2D image that looks the same from every direction, it reproduces a 4D light field, creating stereo images that exhibit parallax when the viewer moves.

Like lenticular, integral images can be created by digitally interlacing a set of pre-determined two-dimensional views to create three-dimensional and/or animation effects. Unlike lenticular, the imagery is viewable in all directions, within a limited viewing angle.
Subtle differences between all of them …. but it would appear that the Adobe product, being Lenticular Lens based, may not possess strict holographic properties.

Cheers & Rgds.
PS: Apologies if you guys already know this. This post is only intended for curious onlookers .. (like me) .. Cheers & Rgds
