DataTel Holotanks

DataTel Holotank is hologram display. Consisting of a clear cylinder capped at both ends with super high-definition laser projectors, a holotank is filled with a highly-reflective, non-toxic gas into which a hologram is projected. The hologram can be static or animated, and its positioning can be manipulated by a remote keypad. Walk around tank, and you can see all sides of the (also called a "model").

To film a model, three holographic cameras are necessary; image to be recorded must be in middle of the three cameras. This makes holotanks inefficient for TV shows or other highly active models — usually individual, static images are best for holotanks (however holotanks are often used when one person will be speaking or dancing).

Three models of hoIotanks are available:

1. Tabletop 12" diameter 18" tall
2. Desktop model is 24" diameter & 36" tall
3. Display size holotank is 4' diameter & 7' tall.

Holotanks are most popular for computer modelling purposes, but are also seeing use as programmable fashion mannequins for clothing stores(as well as walk-in models which serve as instant clothing "try-on" booths), holographic video games, visual tele-conferencing, battlefield strategic analysis, weather prediction, and for air traffic control displays.
