If Tupac's hologram was your dream or a scene from Star Wars somehow changed your life, there's good news for you.
A startup called HoloVit has launched an Indiegogo campaign to bring holograms to the consumer market. Better yet, you'll be able to create them right from your phone, tablet, or TV screen.
It will come in three different sizes, ranging from 9.8 x 15.3 inches to 25.5 x 35.4 inches. No additional technology is required to use HoloVit's special display . You'll even be able to turn yourself into a hologram - as well as play a special holographic video game for iOS or Android. It should also be noted that these holograms are not 360 degrees. You can only see them from behind the HoloVit displays.
HoloVit founder Jeff DeLeon began studying holography systems in 2002 and launched HoloVit in 2015.
“We want to bring the fun and excitement of futuristic technology to every home,” DeLeon and his partner Sibel Stanz wrote on the Indiegogo page. “We would like to see HoloVit as a game changer for the world of home entertainment.”
There's a catch, though. As awesome as this sounds, we're still a little skeptical that this concept will work. The campaign doesn't give many technical details about the technology , which is concerning. So there's no guarantee that HoloVit will ever reach the finish line or that its backers will ultimately get the product described today.
But if we put these reservations aside, the idea of holograms at home is really great.
