Holographic propeller: what is it and how does it work?

Today, if you came across this article, it's because you have just discovered a new hologram technology (The holographic propeller) or even that you are here by chance and want to know more about this one. You are in the right place and you already have one foot in the future of 3D communication.Let me introduce myself, I am Isaac Sikorski, a specialist in hologram technology using a holographic helix and co-founder of the company Holovisio. We have been working with this hologram technology for several years and we decided for more than 4 years to market our propellers, our experience and expertise in this field to professionals. Let's get to the heart of the matter and see together the different points that we will discuss during this article. https://www.holovisio.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Animation-Bras-Articule-Cafe-C.mp4

Let's get into the subject...

What is a holographic propeller?

A holographic propeller is, as its name suggests, a propeller. At least, in operation itself, it takes place in the same way: a motor drives the rotation of blades. Then there is the hologram part. In fact, it is here that everything in the propeller mechanism makes precise sense. We are broadcasting a hologram, so a 3D animated image floating in the air from a propeller. And all this is done thanks to numerous LEDs present on the blades. Now that you have understood the context of the product and its name, let's see together how it works.

How does a holographic propeller work?

To create a hologram you have to check certain points:

  • No visible support
  • An Animated Image
  • Depth for 3D

As seen previously, the propeller will start to rotate at a certain speed of rotation. We are talking here about speeds of mostly between 500 and 1500 rotations per minute. It is thanks to this high speed of rotation that the first point on the list will be able to be ticked. Indeed, the speed is such that our eyes can no longer distinguish the blades from the propeller and therefore the complete transparency of the system takes place. Then now that we have succeeded in making this support “disappear”, we must tackle the diffusion of the image. You are probably wondering how this can be achieved when the LEDs are on the blades and blades rotating at extreme speeds. A processor internal to the propeller and very powerful to the propeller will order each of the LEDs on the propeller to turn on or off at a specific moment.. LEDs are famous for having this ability to turn on instantly in addition to consuming little. Thus, by an in-depth calculation between the speed of rotation and the positioning of the LED on the blade, the processor will order it to be switched on and off at an ultra-precise moment. Suffice to say to you that despite the growing offer of this technology, not all models are the same. For 2 years, we have managed to find the best material and at the best price, so that you can easily enter this revolutionary holographic wave. Now that we have an animated image without support, we must create a depth effect, emblematic of 3D. To do this, nothing could be easier than to broadcast 3D content playing perfectly on depth effects in order to retransmit a hologram that is more realistic than ever. You now have all the ingredients for a holographic broadcast that is as original as it is extraordinary. https://www.holovisio.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Helice-Holographique-Motiondesign_MB_C.mp4

Why this hologram technology?

The technology, although complex to design, is much more economical and efficient than other current hologram technologies. We presented during an article”What is a hologram? “, the various most popular hologram technologies that exist and that meet the same type of need. The holographic propeller offers you a wide range of advantages:

  • Flexible : The propellers are of different sizes to meet all projects
  • Efficient : No loss of luminosity because the light source is directly the propeller
  • Economical : The holographic solution with the best quality/price ratio
  • Customisable : Easily broadcast what you want in a few moments
  • Intuitive : Can be easily used by everyone and in all conditions

It is a revolution in the world of communication as the benefits are significant and the solution accessible to all audiences. And we are proud to contribute by offering you this opportunity.

FAQ - Holographic propeller

1. What is the difference between a holographic propeller and a holographic projector?

One holographic propeller uses a series of LEDs attached to rotating blades to project a 3D animated image. It works by creating an optical illusion thanks to the high speed of rotation.
One holographic projector, on the other hand, uses lasers or sophisticated projection systems to broadcast a 3D image on a screen or in space.

2. What are the common uses for holographic propellers?

Les holographic propellers are commonly used for:

  • Marketing and advertising: Present products in an innovative way in store windows or at events.
  • Exhibitions and trade shows: Draw attention to stands with captivating 3D animations.
  • Education and training: Illustrate complex concepts in an immersive way.
  • Entertainment: Create unique artistic performances and interactive installations.
  • Business communication: Dynamic presentations to capture the attention of the audience.

3. Can a holographic propeller be used outside?

Although the holographic propellers are mainly designed for indoor use, they can be used outside under certain conditions:

  • Daylight protection: Visibility may be reduced in bright sunlight, but more powerful models may compensate for this effect.
  • Recommended nighttime use: For optimal rendering, it is preferable to use the holographic helix in low-light environments.

4. How do you install a holographic propeller?

The installation of a holographic propeller is relatively simple:

  1. Wall or stand mount: Depending on the model, it can be wall-mounted or mounted on a dedicated stand.
  2. Electrical connection: Propellers require continuous power to function.
  3. Loading content: Animated files can be transferred via USB, SD card, or via Wi-Fi, depending on the model.
  4. Calibration: Adjust settings to optimize sharpness and visibility.

5. What is the lifespan of a holographic propeller?

The lifespan of a holographic propeller depends mainly on:

  • The quality of the components: High-quality models can last for several years.
  • Regular maintenance: Cleaning the blades and LEDs is essential for optimal operation.
  • Of the type of use: Continued use or in dusty environments can shorten its lifespan.

6. What file formats are compatible with a holographic propeller?

The majority of holographic propellers accept files MP4, AVI, MKV and sometimes other video formats. It is recommended to use files optimized in high resolution for optimal visual rendering.

7. Is it possible to create interactive holograms with a holographic helix?

Yes, some advanced holographic propellers Like the model HV EVENT 65 HDMI allow interaction through gestures, buttons or voice commands, paving the way for immersive user experience.
