Holobox and hologram FAQ: what it is, how it works and how to rent one

What is a holobox, how does hologram projection work and can you rent a hologram for a trade show or event? These are the questions we hear most about our hologram solutions.

What is a holobox?

A holobox is a hologram box that shows a person life-size, from head to toe, as a hologram. Vision2Watch offers the HEREweHOLO holobox and the smaller HEREweHOLO mini.

Can someone appear live in a holobox?

Yes. The HEREweHOLO holobox can show a live connection from another location. Contestants of the Dutch TV show We Want More auditioned through the box, from Miami among other places.

How does hologram projection work?

People or products are projected at life size onto a special transparent screen, so they appear to float. The technique is called Pepper's ghost and has been around for more than 150 years. The projectors are placed where the audience cannot see them, often under the floor.

What is a hologram fan?

A hologram fan, also called a holographic fan or holo fan, shows 2D and 3D images that seem to hang in mid-air, without a screen. Visibility depends on the device, ambient light and viewing distance. Several fans can be linked into a holo wall.

What is a virtual host?

A lifelike projection of a person who addresses passers-by as soon as they come near. Model, clothing, text and animation are made to order. There is a life-size and a miniature version, with or without touchscreen.
