Your Desktop 3D Hologram Printer

When you see a hologram, it’s that "Wow!" moment. It’s a piece of 3D science magic, and you just want to reach out and touch it. But it was at the MIT Media Lab, doing research in holography and spatial imaging, that LitiHolo founder, Paul Christie, realized how few people had access to true hologram technology. LitiHolo was started to change that.

We’ve created the first desktop 3D Hologram Printer.


How do you "print" holograms?

When a regular 2D picture is printed, the printer is actually printing individual pixels ("picture elements") with ink, that form the complete image when viewed together. Printing a hologram is similar but much more complex, recording individual "hogels" ("hologram elements") with laser light, and a complete 3D hologram image can be seen on the film when viewed together.

The 3D Hologram Printer takes multiple perspective images, captured from a camera, video footage, or rendered from a typical 3D graphics design. The images are sliced into unique recordings for each individual hogel on the hologram. The printer then optically encodes that hogel information with laser light onto the special hologram film.

The video below shows the interior of the 3D Hologram Printer prototype from several different angles. After placing the film plate into the carriage, the system homes, then positions the plate under the optical printing arm, and begins optically exposing each hogel location to the laser light carrying the perspective images for that part of the hologram. (This demo video has the lights on and the hood removed, to better see the printer details, with the system speed increased for demonstration.)

When complete, the hologram recreates the many different perspectives as if the 3D image is truly there, giving you the ability to look around the image to see different angles.


Show me the holograms!

This technology has really been limited almost exclusively to research universities and a few corporate labs, and each one is custom built and takes up an entire room of high-end laser and optical equipment. Now, with your own 3D Hologram Printer, you can make your own holograms and create holographic portraits, holograms from 3D computer graphics, CAD designs, and 3D art.

Input for making holograms

Each hologram for printing needs a simple set of perspective images, which provides the 3D viewpoints or "look around" information. This can come from many sources including:

  • Sketchfab - almost anything that you can put on Sketchfab, you can print on the 3D Hologram Printer. They've now got over 3 million users, and 500K free models, so that's a lot!

  • Smartphone 3D-capture apps like Qlone - we like Qlone, but there are many others for capturing objects and even people with your smartphone in 3D.

  • Video pan-around - capture a video with your device following our guidelines, and the necessary perspective images can be extracted from the video frames for hologram printing.

  • 3D software rendering - utilize your favorite 3D graphics package and render the perspective images with virtual camera.

  • Camera slider, dolly shot, or rail capture - if you've got some simple camera tools, you already have everything needed to capture great holograms. If you don't, we have a Hologram Capture Rail Unit as an add-on that will let you capture hologram portraits and more.

  • And many more...


Self-developing Hologram Film

LitiHolo film plates are a self-developing material that makes clear, bright holograms, without any post-processing or developing chemicals. As the film is exposed, it develops at the same time. When the exposure is complete, the active materials in the film have been used up, and the hologram can be viewed immediately without waiting.

Making holograms has never been this easy!

Each film plate records one hologram, and additional film plates can be purchased separately. LitiHolo film plates have been used in educational workshops for Verizon Innovative Learning Labs, consumer hologram kits, college-level physics courses, art projects and research labs around the world. For film sizes, details and specs, see the LitiHolo Hologram Film page.


What is a hologram?

Professor Steve Benton was a pioneer in the field of holography, the founding head of the MIT Media Lab Spatial Imaging Group, and the inventor of the rainbow hologram found on most credit cards. Here is his definition of what a hologram is:

"Holography has come to take on two meanings in our culture. Firstly, it means wavefront reconstruction by interference and diffraction/reflection. More widely, it has come to mean the ultimate 3D imaging method of the future, and it stands as an optimistic hope for the progress of our science and technology relating to everyday life." - The Art and Science of Holography

Our 3D Hologram Printer meets both of these definitions!

The LitiHolo 3D Hologram Printer makes holograms by capturing the interference pattern formed by two laser beams (object beam and reference beam) onto hologram film. The 3D image is reconstructed by light hitting the captured pattern and diffracting light back into the original object beam direction, reconstructing the original wavefront of the captured object. This is the same fundamental concept that won the Nobel Prize in Physics 1971 for the discovery of holography, awarded to Dennis Gabor.

Many other things are often called "holograms", but are in fact lenticular displays (lens sheet), simple stereoscopic 3D (headsets and glasses), or Pepper's ghost effects (200-year-old optical illusion by simple reflection). "Lightfield" is a relatively new term to describe some 3D displays, and while holograms can be considered a subset of lightfield displays, very few lightfield displays are currently holograms.


A new access to hologram technology

There are other 3D technologies out there, and they can be very good for their purpose, or just to grab your interest for a few moments. But true hologram technology has the ability to actually deliver on a wealth of new ideas and is still at the early stages of what’s even possible.

It’s a little like the early stages of the personal computer, or the beginning of the more recent 3D printing revolution. This is a new tool that gives people access to hologram technology at a whole new level, and lets them think differently, express themselves differently, and visualize differently.

We can’t wait to see how access to a 3D Hologram Printer helps to create the next generation of hologram engineers, hologram artists, and hologram entrepreneurs.

Holographic printer

White Phoenix 1000

Working principle: 

Holographic printer uses series of digital images of the three-dimensional scene and converts them into 3D hologram. Since information for digital 3D hologram is obtained from digital pictures pixels, so the hologram itself always has pixelated structure. Those holographic pixels are called holopixels (or hogels), currently the size of those is 0.8 x 0.8 mm or 1.6×1.6mm, each holopixel contains information from 600-1200 usual pixels with corresponding coordinates that are taken from different views of 3D scene imprinted. Depending on the holographic printer’s model, each holopixel is exposed ether three times with red, green and blue laser radiation, or simultaneously with all three colours lasers.

Lumii 3D technology allows you to print color holograms on regular office printers

News

As it turns out, 3D technologies are available in almost any office. A startup called Lumii has developed an optical algorithm that allows users to print color holographic photographs on regular inkjet printers.

The technology was demonstrated at the California conference on computer graphics and interactive technologies "Siggraph 2016". Visitors underwent a 3D scanning procedure, the obtained data was processed by special algorithms, after which 3D images were printed on an Epson color printer, a common office device. After combining two pictures printed on a transparent film, the guests received holographic self-portraits.

Typically, a three-dimensional effect is achieved by special lenses or relief layers applied over the image. Lumii, on the other hand, uses quite ordinary materials and equipment, backed up by a special algorithmic engine. The resulting "printouts of light fields" have the effect of full three-dimensional parallax, so you can admire the hologram from any angle.

The company's founders are three MIT alumni: Tom Baran, Matthew Hirsch and Daniel Leitinger. “One of the longstanding goals of display developers is to create screens with image quality that is indistinguishable from reality. Our research is aimed at creating high-resolution automultiscopic light fields with vertical and horizontal parallax,” the developers explain.

The two main advantages of the new technology are low cost and high quality. “Instead of specialized optics or lenses, we algorithmically process 3D models - like those that work with AutoCAD or other CAD editors - into special drawings. Then we print the images, overlay them on top of each other and get a three-dimensional effect,” says Baran.

Initial 3D models can be created using fairly inexpensive 3D scanners such as Microsoft Kinect One, Intel Realsense F200 or Structure Sensor. The data is processed by the Lumii algorithmic engine and printed on film. Using a photo printer, you can get a high-resolution three-dimensional image in just fifteen minutes. The idea turned out to be such a hit that the developers had to print several hundred holograms at the conference.

The development has excellent commercial potential. According to the creators, low-cost, high-quality digital and projection screens with light field optimization technology will open up new opportunities in human-computer interaction, 3D printing and industrial additive manufacturing, medical diagnostics, advertising, augmented reality, visual arts, and so on. Moreover, the implementation requires only inexpensive, publicly available equipment.

The commercial sector has already shown interest in the new development: advertising and marketing companies were the first to jump on the idea. “In a few months, we will launch a service for printing holograms for advertising stands and signs. It will be possible to order a hologram on a rigid tab, insert it into a lightbox and get a colored holographic advertisement,” explains Baran. So far, the team is improving the web interface, with the help of customers will be able to upload 3D models for further processing and printing. You can sign up for alpha testing at this link.
