Each of us has seen movies about the future, where people contact with holographic content, running a hand through the air to prompt buttons, unfold maps or get other information. Videos hover in the very air. Another example is a person talking to a hologram of a friend in real time. It used to feel like a fantasy, but now it is the reality.

The Belgian company Holocube supported by the Lab101 startup, specializing in the development of interactive installations, has released an original iPad Air 2 case which turns the device into a holographic projector. The gadget is called Holocube HC Tablet.

The iPad put in the case can produce an illusion of the 3D object present in space. Depending on the task, Holocube HC Tablet can display individual objects of different size. You can also combine graphics with real objects.

To demonstrate the technology, the Belgians created a 3D model of an animated character who changes his direction when you tilt the tablet.

It is still unknown whether the company is planning to introduce Holocube HC Tablet to the market, and how much the novelty will cost. According to the developers, it is possible to watch realistic three-dimensional videos with the help of the holographic iPad case.
