Pepper’s Ghost – “Hologram”

I have been dealing with Pepper’s Ghost technique for more than ten years. 

Starting from principles of the optic illusion,  many different prototype were tested and developed. Many museum installations have been performed, each with an experimental and innovative solution. I’m usually in charge of visual design, infrastructure engineering, software development, interaction design, contents optimization and production.

Mixed reality solutions have been successfully tested in recent years. Real object, virtual reconstruction and animations are present at the same time in the showcase and their overlap gives the immediate visual relationship between real and virtual.

The latest versions of the showcase include a series of interactive controls for the environment such as lights, sounds and smells.

Low cost Pepper’s Ghost Pyramid

This was my first experiment. Very tricky staff but the effect of floating 3D virtual reconstruction of a Castle is very nice!
