Here’s an iPhone App that made the cut – the iHologram. It works with both the iPod touch and iPhone, offering animations that seem to leap off the display in the manner 3D holograms would. According to designer David O’Reilly, “The application works by assuming a constant viewing angle (35-45 degrees), typical for when the device is placed on a tabletop. The 3D scene’s perspective is warped using anamorphosis, the same technique used in Hans Holbein’s painting The Ambassadors. This application does the exact same but updates dynamically.” The project is still just conceptual, but the designer plans on releasing a real app as soon as he finds a capable programmer. Good luck!
