This guy always has an unreal amount of engineering lift for hobby videos. A treat to watch every time.
JKCalhoun•1h ago
Yeah, a YouTube treasure. For anyone new to his channel, you have a back log of amazing experiments to binge on.

I believe he works at Alphabet (tangent?)—somewhere in the Bay Area.

quux•31m ago
IIRC he works (worked) for Verily, and previously was at Valve working on their VR hardware. He's also mentioned having a business pre-Valve that made MRI safe controllers for users to interact with computers while inside an MRI machine.

Pity it won't work for chocolate holograms.
alganet•1h ago
Why not?
ThrowawayTestr•39m ago
Because chocolate doesn't form oxides
ggm-at-algebras•15m ago
You need a mechanism which forms interference fringes. Chocolate blooms, so you might be able to etch the bloom.

Otherwise, it's skim an edible oxide layer over the chocolate to etch.

alganet•14m ago
I thought the oxides were just for color variation. Maybe I misunderstood that part.

Could this be used to make a diffraction grating on PMMA?
