Illumetry Unveils its New Holographic Display Device

Even as research into improving the performance of holographic displays continues, display hardware company Illumetry, has recently unveiled its ‘Illumetry EOS’ device – the company’s newest product in its line- up of holographic displays built on its ‘MotionParallax3D’ principle.

According to the company, the Illumetry EOS features a 65-inch diagonal display that is able to show virtual objects as volumetric holograms that are viewable from any angle. Illumetry refers to these as ‘holographic scale models.’ 

Most people are familiar with traditional scale models – three-dimensional depictions of structures that accurately mirror their design, proportions, and features on a smaller scale. The term ‘scale’ denotes the ratio between the model’s dimensions and those of the actual object. Illumetry noted that holographic scale models, however, share similarities with physical objects, but exist within a virtual 3D space.

Inside Illumetry EOS

Illumetry EOS technology is based on the company’s MotionParallax3D principle, which is the term Illumetry uses to refer to the creation of lifelike volumetric objects on a flat surface in order to deliver a truly three-dimensional experience from any angle.

The stable illusion of a virtual hologram is achieved by then continually updating the projection according to the user’s point of view.

The Illumetry EOS device features a proprietary tracking system that includes four cameras, which deliver tracking precision in the millimetre range, according to the company. By wearing Illumetry’s stereo glasses that are precisely tracked, a user’s position relative to the device is determined. The tracking system provides angular coverage above 170 degrees.

Users can interact with digital content naturally with their hands, or by using an iPad, which allows them to zoom, rotate, and change content on the Illumetry EOS device with slight movements.

Illumetry claims that the Illumetry EOS does not require a darkened room, unlike projection technologies, making it suitable for spaces with standard lighting, such as sales offices, exhibition floors, galleries, and museums.

Commenting on the launch of its new holographic display device, Illumetry stated: ‘holographic scale models have the potential to redefine how works of art and culture are displayed. Illumetry EOS allows for thorough exploration from all angles, while the virtual hologram effect remains consistently stable. Its high level of detail enables a comprehensive representation of the object, replicating a physical presentation.’

Illumetry has showrooms in Dubai, UAE, and Guangzhou, China. For a virtual demonstration of Illumetry EOS visit https://youtu.be/78FqK0YbGbo.
