The image can be viewed from any angle, so as the user walks around the display the object will appear to move and shift realistically. Holographic images can be static, such as a picture of a product, or they may be animated sequences which can be watched by multiple people from any viewpoint.
The technology used to capture and project Holograms has advanced rapidly in recent years. These latest techniques allow increasingly convincing and interactive models to be displayed and are expected to become even more widespread in the future.
Now that we’ve got a better idea of how holograms technology work, let’s take a look at the areas most impacted by hologram:

Many companies have begun using kiosks for their self-service processes.
