Holography and computer graphics are being used as tools to solve individual research, engineering, and presentation problems within several domains. Up until today, however, these tools have been applied separately. Our intention is to combine both technologies to create a powerful tool for science, industry and education. We are currently investigating the possibility of integrating computer generated graphics and holograms. This paper gives an overview over our latest results. It presents several applications of interaction techniques to graphically enhanced holograms and gives a first glance on a novel method that reconstructs depth from optical holograms.
