Slightly OT: Holograms
First off, I’m a long-time lurker, very few posts. I read everything I can find on the COW religiously, though, and know that if we run into issues, I can find an answer here. I’ve got a bit of an odd situation here and I’m going to do more digging from home, since I’ve got a full plate today and can’t take hours to start searching. But I thought I’d turn here and see what everyone thinks:
A client asked the company that I work for about shooting a video and projecting it as a hologram. Our engineer has seen it done (A Superbowl Ring at the NFL Hall of Fame), and is looking into it. The client found one company, Musion, that will lease out equipment for projecting the hologram, but they would rather buy the equipment.
Does anybody know where to start finding out details about shooting for a hologram, or of a reputable company to go through for more details and equipment? Thanks for your help. This sounds like a very exciting project, and I can’t wait to find out more so we can move forward on it!

[Randy Lee] “A client asked the company that I work for about shooting a video and projecting it as a hologram.”
No, not video,
holograms are produced by shooting one or more lasers to a still object, moving objects are extremely hard to do because of the time it takes for the laser to scan the entire image to be shown.
The image you are referring to was a cylindrical hologram that one could walk around and view as a faux 3D object.
“but they would rather buy the equipment. “
as rich said this is not easy or inexpensive.

Thanks for the input. It seems like (although I wasn’t given all the details, I just thought I’d get a jump on the project and see how much I could help find out), they were under the impression that they could get something that would move. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right and they won’t be able to.
They definitely expect it to be expensive, though, and they’re willing to spend the money. For once a client wants something done right, and they don’t care about the cost. I wish that would happen more often. They had already looked into it and found one company, but they don’t want to lease the equipment. I’m looking forward to seeing what they end doing for this, and if anyone else knows anything, chime in.
