For more than 30 years, scientists all around the world have been trying to solve the problem of designing holograms that were viewable by more than one person. A Brisbane-based company has finally succeeded and are releasing a range of holographic products that will change the world.
"It’s something that we’re very excited to show off," noted Euclideon CEO Bruce Dell. "We’ve already seen a lot of interest from many different industries, and we’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible with this technology."

Holograms have been part of movies and TV shows for years - the likes of Star Wars and Star Trek showing them off as exciting and super futuristic technology. However, when holograms were finally developed for real they were expensive, and could only be viewed by one person at a time.
Euclideon solved the problem by turning to nature, and studying how the eyes of bees and other insects can bend light waves to view plants and flowers in different colour spectrums. By using special crystal lenses, Euclideon’s technology bends the picture to a different band of the light spectrum. Special glasses then convert it back into an image that can be seen by humans.
By doing this, these special projectors can project two different images to two
different users, and both people can see their holograms clearly."It’s something that we’re very excited to show off," noted Euclideon CEO Bruce Dell. "We’ve already seen a lot of interest from many different industries, and we’re only just beginning to scratch the surface of what’s possible with this technology."
With this breakthrough, Euclideon have produced a range of business tables, games tables and even hologram rooms similar to Star Trek’s Holodeck that take advantage of the new technology.
In 2010, Euclideon received the largest grant awarded by the Australian Federal Government under its Commercialisation Australia Initiative. The $2 million grant has been integral in growing Euclideon into the company that it is today. ---
