HOLOGRAM PRODUCTION:

We are creators of true holographics and 4D and 3D laser-imaging art and displays for art, commerce, architectural installation, home or public presentations and exhibitions. Our work spans decades in pioneering aspects of holography and hologrpahic displays and art and is not related to Pepper's Ghost illusions using video projection and transparent beam-splitter screens. Our true 3D products 'move' in four dimensionas, there are no gimmick words here. We will facilitate original custom creations or package existing works for exhibition.

Our projects are led by Al Razutis whose works began in the early 70's with pioneering works in 3D imaging and holographic art which has been exhibited internationally ever since. As project lead, he is experienced in all aspects of holographic production and related 3D media. As installation lead, he is experienced in supervising large public installations as well as gallery exhibitions. Tech. resume
