Holographic Projection Tables

FORUM8's Holographic Display Brings 3D-Printed Objects to Life

— April 5, 2016 — Tech
3D printing and projection mapping technology collide in this new holographic display project from Japanese company FORUM8.

The 'Projection Mapping Table' is a device that applies image or video projections to 3D-printed objects in order to bring them to life. The system uses a 360-degree projection mapping system, which means that the object displayed on the table can be viewed from any angle without disruption to the projection. Around an object, there are also spaces for a contrasting background to be added to further enhance the visual experience.

FORUM8’s 3D Projection Mapping Table has the potential to be used in a number of drastically different settings, from reviewing preliminary designs to showcasing products and advertisements in public places.
Trend Themes
1. 3D Printing-projection Integration - The integration of 3D printing and projection mapping technology offers new opportunities for creating immersive visual experiences and bringing objects to life.
2. 360-degree Projection Mapping - The use of 360-degree projection mapping allows for seamless viewing of projected objects from any angle, opening up possibilities for interactive displays and enhanced visual experiences.
3. Augmented Reality Advertising - FORUM8's holographic display technology could disrupt traditional advertising methods by enabling the creation of dynamic and engaging augmented reality advertisements in public spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Design and Architecture - The Projection Mapping Table has the potential to revolutionize the design and architectural industries by providing a new way to visualize and present 3D models and designs.
2. Entertainment and Events - The integration of 3D printing and projection mapping opens up exciting possibilities for interactive and immersive entertainment experiences, such as interactive exhibits, theme park attractions, and live performances.
3. Advertising and Marketing - The holographic display technology could disrupt the advertising and marketing industry by enabling the creation of eye-catching augmented reality advertisements that engage and captivate audiences in public spaces.
