iHologram – iPhone application from David OReilly on Vimeo.
I’ve showed this video to a couple of friends in Berlin (where I’m staying for a few days), and they all freaked out. Maybe because I left the “illusion” part out of it, I don’t know. But one thing is for sure, it’s a really cool effect. David OReilly is responsible for this hologram. He used “the Cat” from his award-winning but unfinished cartoon PSS and gave it a 3D effect with Anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors (the one with the skull).
I wonder when the holograms become reality, Starwars style. On the iPhone it would probably look a bit like this:

Holy cow! This is so cool! Can you imagine playing a doom like FPS game in hologram style!
I can’t wait to see the first game developer applying this technology. Even a simple game like Tetris would become exciting if you could see it moving in 3D…
david o’reilly is a bit legendary here in berlin… great to see him surprise the world again
