Dimensional Foods Corp in Boston has developed a way to craft
brightly colored holograms on such dietary delights as breakfast
cereal and candy. Conventional holograms are generated by bouncing
laser beams off objects and reproducing the reflected light with
foils or emulsions. Dimensional Foods uses photosensitive films to
fabricate molds that, when stamped into food, create patterns of
microscopic ridges that produce holographic images when hit by
ordinary light. The patented process, which the company plans to
license to food and confectionery manufacturers, can add up $50,00
to the cost of production equipment. But Dimensional Foods officials
are betting that the gimmick will more than pay off by attracting
kids to lollipops and cereals stamped with holograms of their
favorite cartoon characters.
