Holograms
What is aHologram?
• A hologram is an object like any other object in the real world, with only one difference: instead of being made of physical matter, a hologram is made entirely of light.
• Holographic objects can be viewed from different angles and distances, just like physical objects.
• Holograms do not offer any physical resistance when touched orpushed because the don‘t have any mass.
