Laser-Based Holographic Displays

The 'Holovect' Holographic Vector Display Draws in the Air

— October 13, 2016 — Tech
The 'Holovect' holographic vector display is capable of creating 3D objects in the air without the need for a screen or a projection surface. Utilizing the power of lasers, the 'Holovect' doesn't create holograms but rather creates images that are created onto modified air.

Funding now on Kickstarter, the 'Holovect' Mk II display system works using simple principles with sophisticated technology. The unit displays light that is then augmented using refraction, reflection and diffusion. This enables the unit to create 3D imagery out of thin air and enhance what's possible in entertainment and design fields.

The 'Holovect' holographic vector display can be purchased via preorder at an early bird price of $750 with delivery slated for March of 2017.
