HOLHO has introduced a series of new [hologram projectors for smartphones and tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze-portable-display). Photos, images and video are adapted from one’s personal device then projected onto the hologram projector—or what is referred to as a pyramid. By simply placing your smartphone beneath the projector, visual oblique surfaces produce [holographic projections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/imagix) which are then view-able from all four sides of the pyramid, allowing for a hologram or 3D visualization.

HOLHO has created prototypes of these projectors, with smaller sizes most appropriate for smartphones and handheld devices, and [larger projectors for tablets and laptops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-laptop). While not yet manufactured for commercial use, the device is seeking support and funding to begin fully manufacturing and bring this device to consumers.
