What I think is missing from the demo is that we can only see "lateral" movement, which is the reason why many people here think this looks like a lenticular display. If that is a real hologram you should be able to change your viewpoint vertically as well right ? Super cool anyway !
I was curious on that too, but from animation there seems to vertical effect, just horizontal
Would be nice if this would become available as a reasonably priced service for a one off print
Definitely might be part of where things could go! And I'm sure there will be people who get one of the 3D Hologram Printers for doing just that. Holograms-as-a-Service?
Of course, I’ll have to play with the small ones first, to get a feel for what the tech can and cannot do…

Huh, very cool— is it totally passive then, once "printed"? It seems like you're encoding into each pixel what it would have to be for every possible view angle, and I'm having trouble getting my head around how this works.
Hogels record the intensity and direction of the light (giving the ability to "look around" the hologram object). Yes, this hogel information is permanently exposed onto the hologram film.

Hello again HN! 12 months ago I told you LitiHolo (I’m the founder) was working to create a 3D Hologram Printer, and asked for your input. Well, we built it! I've been involved with hologram printers all the way back to my grad school days (MIT Media Lab), and have built custom industrial versions for in-house commercial hologram work. But more recently LitiHolo has been focused on simple educational holograms kits.…
• Knock off the first 30 seconds of your 'interior shots' video where the machine is presumably registering itself. I don't much care about that :)
• Show the resultant printed film from the side on somewhere, so we can see how thin it is. From first glance, I got the impression the output was quite thick, whereas apparently it's only 16 microns (taken from your spec sheet). It might seem obvious to you, but it wasn't here and I think would be much more impressive.
Neat tech, I've forwarded it to someone who might have use for it.
Good luck!

I certainly expect to use HaaS if such a service became available and affordable. One thing I’ve fantasised about for 15 years is a wall-scale full colour hologram of some environments — forests, lunar surface, a city skyline, or perhaps a different one for each wall. Of course, I’ll have to play with the small ones first, to get a feel for what the tech can and cannot do…
Tiling of the holograms (making smaller holograms that can be tiled to make a larger one) is something we've definitely thought about, and even contemplated for a Kickstarter stretch goal. Wall size holograms would be fun!

Thanks! The film plates are on 2mm thick glass, and the actual holographic recording layer is 16 microns, with a coversheet material over that.
ed - eg. each 16 micron sheet is side-illuminated with a specific colour, and then three or more holographic sheets are embedded in between the glass plate and cover?

I know I don't have the patience/dexterity/not knocking the table over to use the hologram kits, and the printer is not in my budget, but I would love to see some of the finished (developed?) holograms. You might consider selling some of those?
