Holographic projection generally tends to create a picture with a see-through or transparent effect, and / or a hologram effect. If specific conditions are respected (lighting, back illumination of background, scenography etc…), an object or person may appear as “floating”, or as a hologram. Generally, holographic projection is used together with physical object to enhance the 3D effect.

Holographic video projection uses several properties of rear and front projection screens, films and projectors. One of the key is the black color, that is not “projected”: an object or person filmed on a black background, when projecting on a holographic screen appears on a transparent background. Holographic projection effect can be obtain by directly projecting on a holographic transparent screen, like Adwindow holographic rear projection films.

Adwindow also offers a reflective transparent special mylar film for being installed on a hard shape. With a correct installation, this film is the base of the well-known “pepper ghost” effect: it creates a ghost picture on a transparent film, and real people or objects can be mixed behind this film to create special scenography.
