HoloView is a series of UX/UI research projects studying how users can interact with volumetric displays.
HoloView Mobile
HoloView Mobile represents the first iteration of HoloView volumetric displays. A project for my Intro to Entrepreneurship class, HoloView mobile is a fully fledged business plan for producing and selling volumetric displays for mobile phones.
HoloView Interactive
HoloView Interactive is a prototype designed to study how users can interact with “holograms” created by a volumetric display using a Leap Motion controller. Users utilize hand gestures and motions to directly manipulate 3D shapes loaded into the display. Studies were also conducted testing adding a second “backdrop” screen to create a true 3D effect.
HoloView Performance Viewer
Another iteration of HoloView, the HoloView Performance Viewer combines a large volumetric display with an XBOX Kinect. Designed for stage performances, performers stand behind the viewer. Their body shape and position is tracked with the Kinect, and an outline is superimposed around them each time they play their instrument. The result is “holograms” superimposed on top of a live performance
HoloView Zoltar
HoloView Zoltar represents the final iteration of HoloView. Designed for a specific dance performance, HoloView Zoltar is designed to look like a Zoltar machine. At the beginning of the number, a physical dancer is placed behind the prop to act as the titular Zoltar. While she “escapes” and dances around the stage, video of her is repeatedly shown in the volumetric display for in order to illustrate the idea that her spirit is still trapped within the machine. At the end of the number, she has trapped a different victim inside.
