The artifact you are seeing is a test alignment hogel on these early holograms. Do not expect that in the final system. Likewise, the demo holograms had different border areas, and some with fingerprints (definitely cleanable). The film plate will need some border area. Still working on where we will be with ease of hackability.

Thanks for the compliments! Hope to see you as a backer and please recommend to the maker spaces you know.

Will it "require" the cloud or you otherwise retain remote control over it, like Cricut or Glowforge?

If so, that is a complete dealbreaker for me. I'd assume that is also the case for others as well.

why is it so pixelated, I would think I could be done better, nice for amateurs or a teaching tool but for the one that really do holograms its not anything like what can be done at http://geola.com/product/ilumogram-applications/, just my thought it will be just a novelty... words from a holographer

This is our first step in providing the hologram machine itself to make your own holograms, rather than sending off to a service to make one for you. We think having this as a new tool, rather than just a service, will completely change access to hologram technology in the future, similar to what happened with 3D printing.

I appreciate your input as a holographer, and we are hoping to help create a lot more holographers in the future who will have access to their own 3D Hologram Printer.
