Closing Thoughts With so many advancements, breakthroughs, failures, and creativity, there s no better way to keep up on what s happening with holograms and mixed reality than to actively insert yourself into the worldwide community of people who are experimenting and pushing us all forward with their efforts every day. Be curious, publish your work, and please share what you learn while searching for those breakthroughs. When you get a chance, check in on the latest developments at this book s website. www.envisioningholograms.com Mike Pell 2017 M.
