Life-sized, human holograms could soon grace your living room

Promises to be a free-floating, life-sized image which will hover an impressive eight feet from its projector

Whether it was Princess Leia or the shark from Back to the Future 2, there was likely a movie moment that made you wish holograms were not only real, but that you could have one. And while hologram projectors exist in today’s world, they’re far from a universally accepted bit of tech. But now, one of the leading names in hologram projection is hoping to create something that we’ll all want to own: a human-sized hologram.

This is not some projected-on-glass quasi-hologram, either. HoloVision, as the product is being called, promises to be a free-floating, life-sized image which will hover an impressive eight feet from its projector. That’s better than R2D2 can muster. It’ll also be full color, leaving the astromechs of science fiction squarely in the dust.

There will be limitations, however. It’s easy to think that a life-sized human being, standing in your living room, would be capable of giving you a hug, for instance. But if that breakthrough is coming, it hasn’t arrived yet. Holodeck creations these are not. And images projected through the magic of HoloVision won’t be able to follow you into the kitchen for a snack either — not unless you’ve got a whole network of HoloVision cameras, anyway.

But with those limitations aside, HoloVision really seems like it could become a part of our lives — if it comes to fruition. The company behind HoloVision, Provision 3D Media, is currently running a Kickstarter in the hope of raising $950,000 to bring the tech to life.
