 * "If we look at these stages precisely, we can notice that all types of visual media have been evolving closer to the way we see things in real life."
 * "Nearly a century ago, in the 1920s, the great film director Sergei Eisenstein said that the future of cinematography was the 3d motion pictures."
 * "The better stereoscopic films using the principle of light polarization were invented in 1930s and appeared to the public in the early 50s."
 * "Though the polarization movie technology has been improved in every possible way (like in one of the best in the world system "Stereo 70", developed at NIKFI in Moscow) and in some variations has been used till now (for example, at the IMAX theaters), the stereoscopic cinema actually has no future."
 * "Put the reasons in simple terms, these stereo-films require wearing special polarized viewing glasses and they cause visual fatigue."
 * "A talented inventor in the USSR, Semjon Ivanov, worked on eliminating the need for special glasses and developed a system of raster 3D motion pictures, which could be viewed without them."
 * "The only 3D movie theater in the world based on his system was constructed in Moscow in the 1941."
 * "Nonetheless, this system had a different technical flaw which was also a major inconvenience for viewers – the audience had to sit motionless in stereo-zones while watching these films. Ivanov's attempts to solve this problem were cut short by his death. "
 * "Holography was "invented accidentally" in 1947 by the Hungarian scientist Dennis Gabor in Great Britain while he was working on an electron microscope."
 * "He coined the word and received a Nobel Prize for inventing holography in 1971."
 * "The holographic image is true three-dimensional: it can be viewed in different angles without glasses. This innovation could be a new revolution – a new era of holographic cinema and of holographic media in whole."
 * "...scientists and artists soon realized that holographic films showed more the limitations than its potential, which was attributable to the immense technical difficulties involved in this technology."
 * "Research in holographic cinematography was also started in the former Soviet Union in 1974 at the National Cinema and Photo Research Institute (NIKFI)."
 * "It was funded by the State and led by Professor Victor Komar, the Director of this Institute, who developed the new principles of making holographic motion pictures, based on a totally innovative public-oriented approach."
 * "The major goal was: a holographic movie should be seen by the multiple viewers simultaneously in a movie theater without any inconvenient personal accessories, in full color and with better picture quality than the best current 35 mm films. "
