MIIRAGE LTD

edit

Miirage is a Technology company specializing in the development and deployment of advanced holographic experiences. Miirage is recognized for its innovations in no-glasses 3D Holography, which enables immersive experiences without the need for special viewing equipment. [1]. Known for its advanced visual technology, which has been used in various exhibitions and attractions to bring lifelike 3D experiences to audiences.. The company was first registered on 21st December 2022

OVERVIEW OF TECHNOLOGY

edit

Designers and storytellers have long used “holograms” inside attractions in the attempt to amaze visitors. Yet, strictly speaking, attractions have not yet actually presented true holograms the way audiences have seen them in futuristic scenes from fictional series like “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.”

Superimposed images, Augmented reality(AR), and mirrored projections are just some of the methods used to give the impression of 3D. Often, screens and 3D display's and peripherals are usually involved, which wouldn’t be necessary with a true hologram. To date, projections of light needed to reflect off some surface to be visible, as the images aren’t visible in empty air until now.

Anyone viewing the system, a person, animal, or object not only appears completely within three dimension space, but also seems to be moving around in a Three-dimensional space, visible to the naked eye. It doesn’t have to be in a dark environment and can be seen in normal lighting conditions or full daylight. [2]

KEY PROJECTS

edit

Melbourne Museum in Australia has celebrated the arrival of one of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus fossils ever to go on display with the installation of a new holographic experience in its main lobby.

Created by Miirage, the technology is a modular system that utilises transparent Liquid-crystal display's to create ultra-realistic holograms that don’t require 3D glasses, a mobile device or any other sort of screen to convince the viewer that they can see something in three dimensions.

Welcoming guests to the museum, to the naked eye, it seems as though the animated dinosaurs are moving around in three-dimensional space created by the technology, with the added bonus that the viewer can see this illusion from any brightness and from almost any angle. [3]

The T-Rex, also known as ‘Victoria’, is the star attraction in the interactive exhibition, which transports visitors back 66 million years to the Cretaceous period when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth. In addition to holographics, the exhibition showcases real Fossil with AR, film and multi-sensory installations to showcase the life cycle of the T-Rex. [3]

INDUSTRY IMPACT

edit

Miirage's unique approach to holography positions it as a pioneer in a market that seeks to provide immersive, interactive content without the use of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) devices, making it more accessible to the general public. [1]

Created for the events, entertainment and marketing sectors, Miirage can act as its own standalone attraction, be used for live entertainment or become part of a larger ride or other immersive experience. [1]

The company is also a member of several industry groups and regularly participates in forums and exhibitions, sharing its vision of the future of holography. Miirage's innovation has been featured in notable publications such as Planet Attractions, Experience UK, and IAAPA Funworld, where it is discussed as a leader in the field of holographic technology.

Other Types of Holograms

edit

There are several different types of holograms, each with its unique characteristics and applications. Here's a brief summary of some common types of holograms:

  1. Transmission Holograms: These holograms are created by shining laser light through a holographic plate and capturing the resulting interference pattern on a photographic emulsion. When illuminated with a laser, they produce a 3D image. Transmission holograms are often used for art and display purposes.
  2. Reflection Holograms: Reflection holograms are made by bouncing laser light off an object and onto a photographic emulsion. When illuminated, they create a 3D image that appears in the same location as the original object. These holograms are commonly used for scientific and artistic applications.
  3. Rainbow Holograms: Rainbow holograms are a type of reflection hologram known for their vivid, multicolored appearance. They use a unique recording process that diffracts light to produce a colorful 3D image. Rainbow holograms are often seen on credit cards, ID cards, and security documents due to their anti-counterfeiting properties.
  4. Embossed Holograms: Embossed holograms are mass-produced holograms typically seen on various consumer products, packaging, and security labels. They are created by stamping a holographic pattern onto a thin, reflective foil. These holograms are cost-effective and used for branding and security purposes.
  5. Digital Holograms: Digital holograms are created using computer-generated algorithms and don't require traditional photographic emulsions. They are displayed on digital screens and can be interactive. Digital holograms have applications in 3D imaging, gaming, and medical visualisation.
  6. Volume Holograms: Volume holograms, also known as thick holograms, are created by recording holographic patterns within a thick, photosensitive material. These holograms can store and reproduce 3D information over a wide range of viewing angles. They find applications in data storage and optical filters.
  7. Denisyuk Holograms: Denisyuk holograms, also called reflection holograms, were the first practical color holograms, and they use white light illumination. These are often used in art and decorative displays.
  8. Computer-Generated Holograms (CGH): CGHs are designed and computed using software to create specific 3D images. They have applications in optical testing, virtual reality, and augmented reality.
  9. Electro-Holograms: Electro-holograms are created by modulating the refractive index of a photosensitive medium with the help of electrical signals. These are used in head-up displays, digital signage, and other augmented reality applications.
  10. Acoustic Holograms: Acoustic holograms are created using sound waves to reconstruct 3D acoustic images. They have applications in ultrasound imaging, sonar, and acoustic engineering.

These are just a few examples of the diverse range of hologram types, each suited to different applications, from art and entertainment to security, data storage, and scientific research. Holography continues to evolve with advancements in technology, offering new possibilities in various fiel[3]ds.
