Hololuminescent™ Display (HLD)

Capture attention that converts

Transform ordinary videos into dimensional, holographic content — no 3D pipelines required. Deploy anywhere you'd put a regular 2D screen.

Why HLD just works

Create impossible immersive experiences from standard video, delivering the magic of spatial presence in a razor-thin form factor.

  • Stops passersby by adding real depth to ordinary video.
  • Scales anywhere a screen goes—windows, counters, events.
  • Keeps your content pipeline simple—use the videos you already have.

Create HLD content in your browser

Start with a video, image, or 3D asset. HLD Author gives you one place to frame your content, add HLD-ready visual treatments, preview the result, and export the correct MP4 for your playback setup.

Delivering a magical solution at the fraction of the cost of what's available

How HLD™ compares to other hologram technology

Installs anywhere.  Films beautifully. No boxes. No blades. No eye tracking.

Line drawing of a man in a suit and glasses standing inside a large Holo-box.

Hologram Boxes

Physical cabinet with a 2D display front window. Can be a good effect, but bulky, hard to ship and install.
Silhouette of a person standing behind a transparent rectangular panel with a grid of small Holo-fans.

Fan Displays

LED blades that “draw” images mid-air with 3–4 blades. Noisy, hard to maintain due to moving parts, film poorly.
Diagram illustrating a Pepper's ghost illusion with a man inside a box and his reflected image projected on an angled transparent panel, creating a ghostly figure on a floor surface.

Pepper's Ghost

Classic stage-magic illusion using an angled glass/film. Need to be installed in dim light-controlled spaces, large system that is challenging to install.

How it works

This is a new category of display that combines a fixed holographic etched background with a high resolution 4K screen. It is optimized for presenting people, characters, and products on a fixed 3D stage that makes them feel more real and present. The display creates true visual depth in a razor thin form factor, capturing attention using standard 2D workflows like background removal, shadows, and reflections.

How it works

A new kind of display with an embedded holographic background.

A fixed holographic volume sits inside a high resolution display

Standard video aligns to the holographic volume to create depth

Result: dimensional presence from ordinary content in a much smaller form factor.
