The technology behind the hologram

• Musion® Eyelinerâ„¢ System is a high definition holographic video projection system allowing spectacular three-dimensional moving images to appear within a live stage setting.

• Requiring only a single camera shoot, single projector playback the hologram technology does not require any special audience props, such as the use of 3D glasses.

• Musion® Eyelinerâ„¢ uses a specially developed foil that reflects images from high definition video projectors, making it possible to produce virtual images of variable sizes and incredible clarity, using industry standard software. Infinitely configurable, the virtual picture appears within a stage set, with the projection means invisible to the audience.

• Musion® Eyelinerâ„¢ has been used in a variety of applications including life-size holograms of Madonna (Grammy Awards), Gorillaz (MTV Awards), and Sir Richard Branson (Virgin Digital Launch).
