# 3D-Projected Art Installations The 'Help Me Obi' Exhibition Comprises Hologram-Like 3D Projections By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-07-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/help-me-obi References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2014/07/28/floating-3d-video-art-exhibition/) & [helsonandjackets](http://www.helsonandjackets.com/index.php/help-me-obi/help-me-obi-2) 'Help Me Obi' is a visually spectacular [hologram-inspired art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-holographic-projector) put together by artists Chris Helson and Saraj Jackets, who are seeking a patent for their technology. The whimsically and somewhat irreverently named installation projects large objects -- some as large as 30 centimeters wide -- in space. The objects projected as part of the Help Me Obi installation are visible from every angle. They include a newborn baby and the [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-light) Voyager 1 space probe. The projected objects are not holograms in the strictest sense however, but are actually [360-degree video objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reframe-installation). This means that it's essentially a floating 3D movie rather than a true holographic object that you can examine from all sides. The installation will be on display at the Alt-W exhibition in Edinburgh, Scotland between July 31 and August 30. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hologram-like Projections:** The trend of hologram-like projections presents opportunities for innovative visual art installations and immersive experiences. - **360-degree Video Objects:** The trend of 360-degree video objects can disrupt the art industry by creating interactive and engaging art installations. - **Patented Projection Technology:** The trend of patented projection technology offers innovative solutions for creating visually stunning and unique art experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Entertainment:** The art and entertainment industry can benefit from incorporating hologram-like projections to create captivating exhibitions and shows. - **Technology and Gadgets:** The technology and gadgets industry can explore 360-degree video objects to develop new immersive experiences and innovative display technologies. - **Event Planning and Exhibitions:** The event planning and exhibitions industry can leverage patented projection technology to create unforgettable and visually striking installations for various events and exhibitions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meeting-Enhanced 3D Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holobox.md) - [Holographic Fragrance Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-perfume-shop-holographic-technology.md) - [Portable Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looking-glass-go.md) - [Panoramic Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holo-panorama-x.md) - [HDMI-Supported Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypervsn-smartv.md) - [Immersive Space Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-the-light.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Colossal Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colossal-holographic-display.md) - [Full-Body Hologram Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portl-epic.md)
