Mirage Hologram

[JustGoove]

My highschool physics teacher had one and put a 100$ bill in it, needless to say the kids who tried to steal it were sadly disapointed. Not to bubbahs question. I viewed the pink pig at a very low angle and still was able to see it

[MilanPavlovicSmolkov]

What about to try put inside a laserpointer?

[MultiDalson]

but... will it blend?

[warlockboyburns]

disturbing

[chevroletdude454]

sounds like James May :)

[TheTaco1995]

put a transparent lcd or oled in it see what happens

[narcovice]

dont ever put that hand on it in the sun cause it'll melt it it

[4HumanPeace]

hello!this is...VERY cool!

where can i buy this?

i wanna have it!really!

l.g.

[EpiiCzIMPACT]

your missing the pig

[BuddhaMaster84]

What happens if you view at a lowe angle? Will the hologram still physically be on top, or will it disapear?

[tonyb84]

@BuddhaMaster84 you have to look at it from about that angle.  If you look at it from the side there is no image floating on top.

[MaghoxFr]

wait, what the fuck? this is awesome, is beyond my brain capacity.....WIKIPEDIAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

[classicrichard]

is it possible to make these life sized? and a human can use it?

[dj02tc5]

thats cool

[yoyobro5]

where do o get one of thoes

[mattamomo]

are you joking? your just putting your finger in front of it

[PANOSWORLDFORNOW]

@mattamomo no it's true. I went to see this MIRAASSSHHH and it's really this fantastic. You think that the pig is up there, but it's not!!

[OMJosef1996]

@mattamomo >< it just looks that way becuase of the way the eye sees it i did this forever ago and its really cool so shut up if you dont know aht your talking about

[Mfunn]

yes i'm the lamest of all the jokers ! you cant die ! i cant die ! we are already one ... that thats all folks folkzersz fuckerz,

your love... or what ?

[Amarynthine]

so wait, it only takes 2 concave reflective bowls, with a circle hole on the top bowl?

[crimzonesuicide]

Get a bigger version and put a rolled up cash in it :)

[RCAMPOMAS]

Excelent. But, i think itll become useful when they find the way that people can interact with objects reflected in this way. It would be great if you had this in a combination of 3d visual communications and interface commanded by finger touches.

[fzort]

@RCAMPOMAS Someone already made an interactive version. This was how Sega's Time Traveler "holographic" arcade machine worked. I was pretty impressed when I saw that as a kid... it looked like something out of Star Wars.

[ayrahcavaruas]

it's really cool, the hologram is actually just the reflection of the pig

[TheRealOneHotChick]

Showcase special :)

We sold that at the As-Seen-On-TV store where I worked :)

Super cool image...total mind trip!

[fenderflip84]

Yea right, you can buy these things at novelty shops, it's not fake. It's actually common. And it's not a hologram, it's only a mirage.

[Roopa132]

haha you're stupid.

[montykill]

if u shot a small vid in that it could be possible to make a moving hologram but it would probably not look very good

[UrbanMan1ac]

The MIRAASSSHHH

[SergeantPeppors]

mirraaaaaaaaaaaashhhhhh

[blueman705]

i use to have one of those around 10 years ago, i wonder what happened to it... kids loved it

[SilkSwe]

Very frustrating. My brain tells me that it's solid, but yet it isn't. I will have to stay away from those things or else it'll fry my brain.

[wangleis]

I think we can do it by ourselvs

[toly945]

very cool! can you tell me how much is it?

in our conutry..that is RMB89

[TravisLikesCoolStuff]

they are $45 shipping included, or less than $10 on ebay ( us dollars)

[igotbored44]

someone needs to put a small video player in one of those! i tried it with my ipod and it looked awesome! (but it was kinda hard to read backwards)

[Kev888]

He reminds me of the guy from The Gadget Show, y'know the gye with the grey hair

[chemicalBR0]

LOL the guys accent is so cool.

even sounds like a mad scientist :)

[samuelmichaud]

cool

[ElectricAlpha]

Very, very simple

[Roberto87]

hahahahaha amazing

[JJRousseau76]

It's just a parabolic mirror. Not very impressive. Every Physics room has one.

[tico652]

The best version is USA made. It will cost you more than any cheepos but well worth it. Try Edmund Scientific or Opti-Gone International. Mirage. . .

[iZee3x]

I can't get it to load, either.

[JosephMelia]

mine doesn't load.

[sushix777]

Pretty cool toy, I just bought for $7.95 from MyVirtualZoneDOTcom

[angel22922010]

omg!

[zunuf]

I have that

[SicSniper4unreal]

thats cool

[Morph1e]

:D this is interesting!

[ICuInTube2007]

I want one of those.. hwo can I get it?

[goldrush1789]

i have one, i got mine from the science museum in london.

[KragonSplinter]

omg if you super size this and add a telephoone of sum sort you get a very short distance one-way hologram telephone!

[mikeismelo]

hahahahahaha wtf

[mariusthq]

Well thought,very interesting !

[tvanymesic]

i love these things!!! as to how to make one...two perfectly concave mirrors, one with a hole dead center...actually, it'd be easier to buy one, lol.

[Arkadyy]

he hit the pig , and the pig turn so it's a true :]

[DevilDoom]

OH CRAP!

[Jacxel]

my aunt has one of these....as soon as i saw it i immediatly thought someone HAS to build one if these but huge and under ground....it would be perfect for being immature!

[deadlymilkman]

were do u get it i want one

[apologiate07]

Our physics teacher has one of those

[Bushdoctor68]

"The miraaaage is just not quite theeeere."

Lol

[InfamousBLT]

Yeah I remember that in middle school/high school. SO much fun to play with

[prettyful77]

FAKE

[MonsuerLePlague]

lol, that's not fake. my 7th grade science teacher had one of those. you can pretty much drop any small object into the bottom. looks pretty cool.

[crashwind0wsman]

hmmmm......cool

[Zim804]

Its just a Illusion with a mirror thats it

[Aeryk333]

[DAKODA65]

[carpantra]

[SlavetoOblivion]

lol, he was, you just couldnt see it properly....noob

[kayaman132]

i'm thinking about buying one from grand illusion but i'm not sure.

[boberick2]

i want one

[Danz1234567890]

kwl...

[Dante1969]

The pig seems to be over the bowl but no, it's inside.

Wow!!! amazing

[k2fatty2006]

why was the guy not touching the pig he put his finger in front of it not on it.... lame

[tonyb84]

It looks that way, but from the angle he was viewing it, it looked to him as though he was putting his finger though it. I own one of these, it is something that you have to see in person to appreciate.

[elfranz]

i own the same object, found in a toy store... no lame, just science...
