We have recently been working on a project involving 3D holograms which appear onstage next to presenters. Yes, you read that right. Holograms. Real ones, like Star Trek. Tch eh?
Working with a creative agency we have created huge 3D assets which are to be turned into holograms by these people. The technology, according to the Musion website:
“…uses a specially developed foil that reflects images from high definition video projectors, making it possible to produce virtual holographic images of variable sizes and incredible clarity…”
The site features some pretty incredible examples of the holograms in action; the world’s first holographic beat-boxing and holo-DJing is here, and this real time presentation link up is fairly impressive too.
The holograms require the created assets to be pretty big (4K for those of you with a technical bent), which means our render farm had to work pretty hard on this job.
