Pioneer has announced a service that prints the expressions of unborn babies as 3D holograms,
using a compact full-color hologram printer developed by the company last year.
This device can record full color card-sized Lippmann hologram in 120 minutes with one
color holograms taking 90 minutes.
The
recording
medium is a high-performance film specifically for holograms, called Bayfol HX, from Bayer
Material Science. The hologram is visible within a 23 degree viewing angle, and is 200
components high and 300 wide, with each component containing 60 points of view vertically
and horizontally.
As these holograms can be used to commemorate births, and Lippmann holograms can be viewed
clearly in white light, Pioneer is exhibiting holograms in card-case holders and jewel-boxes
with white LEDs.
