Hologram scan

Hologram scan sweeps a plane of light through an object and turns it into a hologram: glowing grid lines, a bright rim around the silhouette and drifting scanlines, with the solid surface cut away. A second plane follows and switches the hologram off, so the object leaves in two passes. Reversed, it scans back in, hologram first, then solid.

How it works

The grid is fixed to the object's own shape, so it wraps the model and moves with it. Only a band of the object is hologram at a time, between the two planes, and Hologram band sets how wide that band is. With Disappear off, the default when you keep it on an object, the scan turns the object into a hologram and it stays that way.

Settings

- Scan: the direction of the sweep, top to bottom by default. - Colour: cyan by default. - Grid: how many grid lines run across the object. - Hologram band: how much of the object is hologram at once. - Disappear: off to keep a permanent hologram. - Duration: 2.4 seconds.

Sci-fi interfaces, tech product reveals, a digital twin of a real object, game menus. On a moving object, the Hologram trail leaves hologram copies behind it; for a scanner look with a point cloud, see LiDAR scan.
