Colour computer-generated holography for point clouds utilizing the Phong illumination model

We build on prior work, namely a fast computer-generated holography method for point clouds that handles occlusions. We extend the method by integrating the Phong illumination model so that the properties of the surface of the object are taken into account to achieve natural light phenomena such as reflections and shadows.

Our experiments show that rendering holograms with the proposed algorithm provides realistic looking objects without any noteworthy increase to the computational cost.
