From the project
This is the holographic box for openUC2
A fully open-source learning system for optics, interferometry, and holography.
The HoloBox is a modular, open-source toolbox that brings classical and digital optics experiments into classrooms, labs, and maker spaces. Built on the openUC2 cube system, it enables hands-on experiments ranging from Michelson/Mach-Zehnder interferometry to inline digital holography and lensless microscopy. The system combines precise optical hardware, open electronics, and modern digital workflows such as Jupyter notebooks, Python image reconstruction, and AI-ready embedded cameras.
