Axiom Holographics creates the world's first holographic zoo

Hologram Zoo, in Australia, It is the first hologram zoo that the specialist Axiom Holographics Designed with multi-view 3D visualization tables, for visitors to enjoy an immersive experience, dynamic and multidimensional.

Located in the Australian city of Brisbane, Hologram Zoo uses augmented reality technology Axiom Holographics so that visitors can get up close and personal with a wide variety of animals, even those who no longer walk the earth, in a very different way.

The design so far world's first hologram zoo from Australian specialist Axiom Holographics requires visitors to wear small glasses with position tracking, less annoying than augmented reality glasses.

The technology tracks the position of each pair of the visitor's glasses, while a graphics processor generates a single image corresponding to said location to simultaneously project each image on a screen, offering each visitor a unique experience tailored to their specific position.

So, Visitors provided with these position-tracking glasses are surrounded by holograms of real animals from different regions of the world, and a graphics engine located in the glasses creates a unique image for each eye, resulting in 3D images that appear to float in mid-air and maintain their position even when visitors move.

“All the animals look real and solid.”, but in reality they are made of laser light -they point out from Hologram Zoo-. Son 3D, so the visitor can walk around them and touch them (but his hand passes through them because they are made of light)”.

Technology also makes plants look real, although they are also created with light. Los hologram tunnels, of 20 metros, through which visitors pass also add smells, climate and airflow to increase the immersive experience.

Visitors can choose which place to visit in this space 1.000 m2: Africa, Australia, Arctic, life under the sea or travel in time and walk with the dinosaurs or enjoy the flora and fauna. Thanks to the position tracking element, They can move around freely and see the exhibits from different perspectives.

“Hologram entertainment centers are a fantastic way to be ‘teleported’ to places you wouldn’t normally be able to visit.”, and it is possible to experience things that you would never see -he emphasizes Bruce Dell, CEO de Axiom Holographics-. For example, I don't think people know how big a whale is., “But when they see a life-sized giant swimming past them they all seem to pause in reverent silence in real life.”.

The first Hologram Zoo “is a test site to perfect the technology, “Then we will open hologram entertainment centers around the world.”, concludes Dell.
