A holographic-style showcase is a presentation enclosure: animated content appears to float inside a glass viewing chamber, where it can sit beside a real product placed inside. It is a way of stopping people on an exhibition stand or a shop floor. We call it holographic-style because it is a display effect inside an enclosure, not an image projected into open air.
Holographic Display Showcases (view the range) are listed in 180°, 270° and 360° viewing formats, the last in regular and inverted arrangements, in desktop and floor-standing designs, in black, white or a custom colour. Screen sizes are listed from 19 to 55 inch at 350 to 500 cd/m². A large-format enclosure of around 2 by 2 metres is also referenced, which we treat as a bespoke enquiry. Content can come over HDMI, from standalone playback, or from a built-in Android or Windows configuration, and a separate capacitive touchscreen from 10.1 to 32 inch can be built in.
Two decisions shape the project: where the showcase will stand, which sets the viewing format, and what it will show, which has to be produced for that format. If you want visitors to choose what plays, the touchscreen option turns the showcase into a small interactive exhibit, and the application behind it is bespoke kiosk software to scope. Content scheduling across several units falls under digital signage content management.

Holographic display showcases
Presentation enclosures that show a holographic-style image beside a real product, in 180°, 270° and 360° formats for desktop or floor-standing use.
Where they fit
Give a stand a moving centrepiece that can be seen from the aisle and explains the product before anyone speaks.
Present a piece or a collection as an animated feature in a counter-top or floor-standing showcase inside the store.
Use a floor-standing 360° unit in an open mall space where people approach from every direction.
Reveal a new product or identity as a piece of theatre, with the showcase as the focal point of the launch.
Choosing
The viewing format follows the position. A 180° unit is viewed from the front and suits a position against a wall. A 270° unit is viewed from three sides and suits the end of a counter or the edge of a stand. A 360° unit is viewed from all round and suits an island position. The 360° format is listed in regular and inverted arrangements, confirmed for the selected model.
Desktop units sit on a counter, plinth or reception desk and suit small products and close viewing. Floor-standing units are furniture-sized pieces for open floors and exhibition stands. Screen sizes are listed from 19 to 55 inch, and the usable space inside the viewing chamber is confirmed for the selected model. The separate reference to an enclosure of around 2 by 2 metres is a bespoke enquiry, not a standard model.
A capacitive touchscreen from 10.1 to 32 inch can be built in. Without it, the showcase plays a loop. With it, visitors can pick a product, a colour or a film, and the showcase responds. That needs an application as well as content, so include it in the brief from the start.
The image appears inside the enclosure, not in open air, and it is affected by its surroundings. Brightness is listed at 350 to 500 cd/m², which describes the screen and not the image seen in the chamber, and the effect is strongest away from strong ambient light. Tell us about the lighting where it will stand.
Content is produced specifically for the chosen viewing format, typically an animation on a black background laid out for the number of viewing sides, and standard adverts generally need reworking. Plan for content design as part of the project, and ask us for the content specification of the selected model before your designer starts.

Questions
We describe these products as holographic-style showcases. The content appears within a glass viewing chamber and can look as though it is floating beside the product inside, but it is a display effect within the enclosure, not an image projected into open air.
It is the number of sides the content can be viewed from. A 180° unit is viewed from the front, a 270° unit from three sides, and a 360° unit from all round. Choose according to where the showcase will stand and how people will approach it. The 360° format is listed in regular and inverted arrangements, and we confirm which suits your position.
Screen sizes are listed from 19 to 55 inch, in desktop and floor-standing designs. The range information also refers to a large enclosure of around 2 by 2 metres. We treat that as a bespoke project, assessed individually, not as a standard size. Outline dimensions for the selected model are confirmed with your quotation.
A built-in capacitive touchscreen from 10.1 to 32 inch is listed as an option. It lets visitors choose content, provided an application has been built to do that. We scope the application as bespoke kiosk software, quoted separately from the hardware.
Video or animation produced for the viewing format of the selected model. Existing adverts usually need reworking, and product animations often have to be created from scratch. We confirm the content specification with your quotation, and our design and branding service can help with production.
Describe what the screen needs to do and where it will go. We will recommend the right hardware and software and confirm the configuration in a written quotation.
