Hologram Industry News

A 3-D hologram image of the Queen - the first royal portrait of its kind - has been unveiled.
The image of the unsmiling Queen, by light artist Chris Levine, is tinged in blue light and appears to move as the viewer walks past. It is suspended between two panes of glass and mounted in a darkened room at The Jersey Museum.
In the image the Queen wears a white ermine cape, a string of pearls and the famous Diamond Diadem.
The crown, made for King George IV, was worn by the Queen for her Coronation procession in 1953 and is the one depicted on UK stamps and bank notes.
To create the image, Levine took more than 10,000 images of the monarch during two sittings in the Yellow Drawing Room of Buckingham Palace before selecting the ones for the final hologram. Levine said the Queen was “surprisingly well informed” about modern processes of portrait making.
It cost the Jersey government £150,000 and will be exhibited at The Jersey Museum in St Helier until 23 June before going on permanent display at Mont Orgueil on the island. An identical copy of the holographic light portrait will be exhibited at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, from 17 July to 3 October.
