Hi Lorne,
The technology we found begins with the idea of 'Pepper's Ghost' from the
old days of the haunted ghosts at Disney World. The difference is that
images are projected onto a stretched substance rather than glass so there's
no distortion. It's beautiful HD quality! We're creating 3D animations of
ships and planes to go with the characters and historic footage. It truly is
exciting stuff!
Kristy

Hey Kristy, that sounds fabulous!  But what exactly do you mean by
"holographic"?  I'm pretty sure you're not really using holograms, and the
misuse of that word is one of my hot-buttons (I do a lot of 3D work and have
a friend who has done true holographic art) but I am genuinely curious -
projection on see-through front scrim?  3D?  Combination?

Thanks!

- Lorne
