What does a hologram need?

Where can you place a hologram? Read what you need to know about space, ambient light, power, viewing distance and a safe installation.
A hologram can be used in many locations, but good preparation prevents surprises. The available space, amount of light, power supply and walking route all influence the result. These are the main points of attention.

How much space is needed?

That depends on the chosen size and the way of placing it. A compact hologram can stand on a counter or table. Larger models need their own plinth and enough free space around them.

Do not only measure the spot where the system will stand. Also check doorways, lifts, corridors and the route from the loading area. Especially at large trade show and event venues, accessibility can be decisive for the installation.

What is a good viewing distance?

Visitors must be able to take enough distance to see the full image. A compact product hologram is usually viewed up close. For a large animation or a life-size person, more distance is needed.

Do not place the hologram behind obstacles and prevent waiting visitors from blocking an important walking route.

How much influence does ambient light have?

Holographic content stands out most when the contrast with the surroundings is good. Very bright light shining directly on the presentation can weaken the effect.

That does not mean the space has to be completely dark. Often the position, incidence of light or chosen animation can be adjusted. Dark backgrounds and bright subjects usually work best.

What power supply is needed?

The hologram works on a standard 220-240V power point. The hologram and any audio, network or control equipment need a reliable power connection.

The exact technical requirements can differ per setup. At events, make sure the power point has enough capacity and is not unexpectedly overloaded or switched off by other equipment. A separate power group or a dedicated connection is recommended for larger setups.

Don't forget sound and internet

For animations with audio, it must be checked whether sound is allowed and audible at the location. The volume of the audio can be adjusted if needed and tuned to the surroundings. An internet connection may be needed for updates or an interactive AI hologram.

Have the location checked in advance

A floor plan, photos and dimensions often already provide a lot of clarity. For more complex installations, a site visit can be sensible.

Media Hologram advises on placement and can take care of the on-site installation. Discuss your space and application with our team.
