arab_freak Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Check them out: http://www.xyzrgb.com/newsletter/holos/newsletter/newsletter.html http://www.xyzrgb.com/holos/page1.html I would SO buy one if I had the money (they cost $770), they look so amazing. If the video is stuck (it's an .swf file), right click > rewind > play.
Dyson Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Top link doesn't work, but they're pretty cool.
Tellyn Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 http://www.xyzrgb.com/newsletter/holos/newsletter/newsletter.html There was a space in it.
conzer16 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 How do they work? Is it a painting or a hologram?
ShadowV7 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 The Final Fantasy one is really cool. Looks really interesting,wonder how they work.
Shino Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 ?! How the...? Can I update the images or can I plug it to my pc?
arab_freak Posted February 10, 2007 Author Posted February 10, 2007 How do they work? Is it a painting or a hologram? It's a plastic container with the hologram projected within it, to keep people from touching it...I don't know how the image is projected onto it, I think it might be a machine of some sort.
The Peeps Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Nice effect, if I had the money I'd get one purely for the fact that it's different and new. Maybe graphical designers will become the new 'painters'.
Bren Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 are you sure it isnt one of those things that changes picture as you move it, like you got free with cereal, except this is a really advanced version, that makes it look as if you can see the it moving very well, if you notice, the image on the final fantasy one, only moves asfast as the camera goes around it.

They were called 3D cards, and they made a funny noise when you scratch them. This is something totally different, you actually FEEL like there's another world inside that piece of "paper", kind of how people first reacted when they first saw the Mona Lisa.
Bren Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 it doesnt matter what it feels like, is it the same technique? I think theyre cool, but nothing breathtaking " What is a hologram? A hologram is a three-dimensional scene with an incredible illusion of depth and motion that is unlike anything you've seen before. These holograms can be appreciated without glasses or a special viewing device. XYZ Imaging has created a new breed of large format, color static (non-rainbow) reflective holograms that astound viewers, gathers crowds and becomes the hot topic of conversation wherever they are displayed." So im guessing it is the same method as those 3d cards.

ShadowV7 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 That is nice,I hope we here more of these holographic paintings in the near future (and cheaper prices) along with more pictures. I want that FF one.
Hero-of-Time Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Check out the Terminator:http://www.xyzimaging.com/ That Terminator one is amazing!
That dude Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 When I become rich and famous, I'm going to buy the person/group who makes these and order them to make me wallpaper like this.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 That Terminator one is amazing! I know! Seriously, me want. Crazy stuff, but coolness does come with a price tag.
CoolFunkMan Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 That. Is. Awesome!! I seriously want one too! Though, I dunno if I'd get the Terminator one tbh. If I woke up in the night and suddenly saw that, I'd freak out, lol. But hey, it'd be nice for a prank...
Cube Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Check out the Terminator:http://www.xyzimaging.com/ Looks like one of those cheap, cheesy card things you sometimes get with special-edition videos ages ago.
Konfucius Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 This is absolutely awesome. That goes right onto my: what to buy when I'm rich list. If those things came in cereal boxes I'd buy (and eat) that crap again.
fanman Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Fuck, those are amazing. You want amazing holograms, go here. Are you allowed to post that?
The3rdChildren Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 Are you allowed to post that? I dunno if he's allowed, but power to him for doing it. They are great... except "rope cock" which is somewhat disturbing.
4q2 Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 The only thing I can see that is different about these holograms is the colour static thing, the moving images thing has been something that could be done with foil holograms for years. I Remember when I was knee high (20ish years ago), going to an exhibition of holograms whilst on holiday in Gt Yarmouth and they had something similar. The one I remember in particular was a Microscope that if you levelled your eye 'over' the eyepiece you could look down it and see the image of a microchips guts through it.
