How Hologram Works

The time-varying light field of a scene with all its
physical

properties

is

to

be

recorded

and

then

regenerated.
Hence the working of holography is divided into two
phases:

Recording
Reconstruction

PRODUCT LAUNCH USING

HOLOGRAPHY
BMS andPfizer wanted maximum impact
for the launch of their major new
medicine for the treatment of strokes.
So they created the 3D experience
exhibition
stand
that
featuresholographiccontent designed to
showcase the new drug and its benefits.
It certainly created a buzz at theworld
heart federation2014 conference

PLANNING AND
SIMULATION
Disaster planning
Traffic, transportation
distribution flows

MILITARY AND SPACE

APPLICATION
Holographic decoys and deception
applications
