Light Touch Holographic Projector


We have already discussed in the previous topic the several possibilities offered by pico-projectors among Smartphones. However, this new topic tackles pico-projectors that use holography to interact with the user directly on the image projected.

How is it possible?
It is a projector equipped with holographic laser technology and infrared touch sensors that can register the movement of your hands. That potent mix of functionality means that you can control the projector simply by “pressing” the images it displays.

Imagine the diverse possibilities offered by this technology.

  • In a restaurant, in stead of having a menu that you need to change every week (dirty, updates, ...), you could just have a tool that displays an holographic menu directly on the table where customers could directly order their meal without having to wait for the waiter to ask them what they want to eat.





  • In a clothing store, you could also have such a tool to look at the different size and colors available for the dress you would like to buy. Is it in stock? Can I order it? What is the delivery time?


  • In the day to day life, with the unbelievable miniaturization of electronic devices, it would be interesting to have a projector that displays query results (see the topic "smartphone"), but it would also be interesting to have a full size keyboard in such ultra small devices. This would indeed be possible thanks to this technology! You could just have a virtual holographic keyboard projected wherever you want.

  2. Wow! This is an incredible display of a holographic projection in use. This reminds me of the system we use in my office for presentations and meetings, a Vista Spyder. Seeing how we display products and charts to clients is similar to how these images show menus and clothing to customers, just on a smaller scale. It really is crazy how advanced things are getting, but also really great to see it all happening.
