HolograFX recently caught my eyes with new low price, so I purchased a set to play with. It was actually fun going through the story and see the characters in holograph, it is like a mini Universal Studio attraction on my desktop. The set comes with many props and most of them are re-purposed old magic props. The idea was to perform magic tricks with the prerecorded holograph characters.
Quick Google search found the following diagrams, hi 2PAC! Remember sew an ancient drawing of the setup for illusionist back in the day, but didn’t see it.
I tested the acrylic sheet I have with Proteincraft and had a butterfly moment when I see the following picture. However, once the edges of the sheet come into sight, the magic moment ends. This hologram setup has to be situated on a higher ground and the clear acrylic sheet has to be built into the frame nicely so the viewers from the floor level don’t notice the source screen and the acrylic sheet.
11/22/13 I created a structure to work with my Surface Pro, it is like building a miniature concert stage. I am still testing different clear sheet. Frame glasses seem to create two holograms with offset depends how thick the glass is. Frame acrylic works better, it gave me a focus single image.
