How is HLD different from other displays?

It’s the only display with real depth in a razor-thin form factor. No boxes. No blades. No eye tracking. Just true depth that films beautifully and installs anywhere.

Hololuminescent™ Displays

An immersive three-dimensional stage for all types of content, without the complexity of traditional 3D pipelines.

Hololuminescent™ Displays

A physical holographic volume layer that embeds depth in the display stack. The display itself, under 1" in thickness.

How HLD compares to regular “hologram” technology

Hologram Boxes

Enclosed kiosks. Rectangular cabinet with a front window. Bulky, hard to ship, awkward to film.

Fan Displays

Experience footwear fantasy on the Looking Glass 16"Spatial OLED, where a wave of your hand transforms the 3D holographic sneaker.

LED blades that “draw” images mid-air with 3–4 blades. Noisy, unsafe up close, poor on camera.

Pepper's Ghost

Angled glass + hidden screen for a stage-magic illusion. Fragile glass, narrow sweet spot.

A new way to display.

Create virtual space for people, characters, and objects in a 3D environment using standard video assets.

Characters

Showcase animated characters, mascots, and digital personas with holographic presence. Perfect for entertainment venues, trade shows, and interactive experiences that captivate audiences.

People

Experience footwear fantasy on the Looking Glass 16"Spatial OLED, where a wave of your hand transforms the 3D holographic sneaker.

Display presenters, spokespeople, and team members as if they're physically present in the room. Ideal for remote presentations, virtual receptionists, and creating personal connections.

Products

Transform product demonstrations and retail displays with holographic showcases. Drive engagement and sales with eye-catching displays that make your products impossible to ignore.
