The
Challenge - use Holograms and 3D projected images to overcome it
We are inundated with visual clutter. From commercials, to pop-ups on the internet, print ads in magazines to larger than life LEDs in Time Square, billboards that change images to graffiti in the cities, everywhere we turn someone is trying to teach us about their "special" interest by exposing us to an image of their creation. However, as marketers we must remain in this struggle for the attention of passersby. As a result, we strive to create the ultimate graphic....and this certainly hasn't gotten any easier. But what if we were able to add an additional "dimension" to our presentation? Have the image literally pop-off the screen in all of its 3-Dimensions. Well now you can - and for a much more affordable cost than you would imagine.
Imagine being able to view an object fully-animated and floating in space without the use of 3D glasses! Use this effect to increase your marketing impact and clarity of communication at your next trade show, in your next museum or retail display!
The Product - Volumatrix 3D Projected Images
You may have seen equipment like this before, but none that works this well, none at this price point, none with this kind of image clarity, none with full animation, none with synchronized sound. Even viewing the smallest of our displays, you would swear that the object is floating in space and not have any idea that you are looking at an image that is scientifically projected onto a mirror.
This illusion is created by looking at an image that has been manipulated by computer software and then projected onto a very precise mirror. The whole apparatus is contained in a customizable cabinet style enclosure that can be completely free-standing. The viewer must be facing this cabinet in order to view the image. The field of view is 60 degrees, so the viewer must be looking at the enclosure.
We also have units available with an LCD background. Using two displays in the enclosure allows the background to be fully-animated in addition to the 3D image. This may all sound low-tech to you, until you imagine watching your favorite cartoon as if on any standard monitor, and then having the main character step right out of the display into the room.
Technical Parameters
Size of the image - Representation in space - The image size is only limited by the size of the display. That is to say, that with an 18" LCD we can create a nearly 18" object or projection. With a 50" monitor we can create a nearly 50" projection. In addition, as we increase the size of the monitor, we can make the projection appear farther from the screen. So with a 50" monitor, we can make the object appear 50" from the screen.
Size of the equipment - In most applications, the LCD display which creates the image lies horizontal to the ground. So if you are using a 50" plasma or LCD display, the cabinet which houses the hardware is the size of a 50" display lying down, and almost an equal dimension for the viewing screen and backwall which supports the mirror. Similarly, if you require an image to be produced from a 15" LCD, the enclosure can be very small. Thus this equipment can be integrated as part of a kiosk, or stand alone in a museum, projecting a magnificently detailed and animated 3D image.
Image storage - the image and optional file for narration or music is stored on a smart media card, the same card we would find in many digital cameras. This makes the image very easy to change. Simply disconnect the power, exchange the smart media card for one with the more desireable image and restart the power. The image uploads automatically and is viewable in a few seconds.
Image creation - the image files may be created by you at your facility, or by one of our trained staff. You can produce the 3D images yourselves using 3D Studio Max or Lightwaves or equivalent, true 3D Rendering software. To the best of our knowledge, Flash and Director do not provide a true 3-D capability, and thus, much of the capability of the OPD3D equipment will not be taken advantage of if these softwares are used. Currently, because 3D is so new for most designers, we recommend that we complete the image production and storage. Our rates are very reasonable and using us insures that the images are created with the best possible 3-D results in mind.
