Mid-air 3D · Overview
3D Hologram Fans overview
Spinning LED blades make a logo or product appear to float in mid-air. Single units or synced walls, controlled from an app — most clients run fans at an entrance or a stand as an attention device, with transparent film for the campaign.

Fans create a genuine floating 3D effect and draw a crowd, but they show one object on a dark background and need dim ambient light. Most clients run them at an entrance or a stand as the attention device — and transparent film for the campaign.
What it is
A screen you can see straight through.
A screen you can see straight through.Transparent LED puts the pixels on narrow strips with clear space between them. Far enough away the eye fills the gaps and reads a solid bright image; up close, and from inside, the glass is still glass. Nothing is projected and nothing is printed — it is a real emissive display that happens to be mostly air.
- Behind the glass, not on it — mounted to the frame or hung on standoffs, so the glazing carries little or no load.
- Bright enough for daylight — 3,000–5,500 nits depending on family and orientation.
- Runs cool and quiet — around 200 W/m² on average content, no fans on film products.
The effect
Why it stops people on the pavement.
Why it stops people on the pavement.A static vinyl covers your window. A transparent LED display keeps the window and adds motion on top of it — and motion tends to draw more attention than a static graphic in a window. The content appears to hover in front of your merchandising rather than hiding it.
- Campaigns change from a phone — no reprints, no fitters, no downtime.
- Day and night modes: bright, high-contrast graphics by day, cinematic content after dark.
- Flicker-free at 3,840 Hz, so every phone video shot in front of it looks clean.

Holographic film is $357.68/ft² at P3.91 on our U.S. price guide — an installed package priced on finished display area, with shipping, installation and three promo videos included; P6.25 and P10 are quoted per project. Mesh runs $232–297/ft² installed-market; hologram fans from a few hundred dollars to around $5K for premium synced systems. A typical small storefront project lands at $10K–20K all in, quoted against a written spec.

Six reasons buyers choose transparent over vinyl.
Six reasons buyers choose transparent over vinyl.The window keeps working
Up to 95% transparency means your merchandising, your daylight and your view survive. A solid LED wall in the same opening kills all three.
Nothing structural changes
Film installs mount to the existing frame with no steel. Landlords, heritage frontages and glass curtain walls all clear far more easily.
Motion beats static
Animated content in a window tends to draw more attention than printed graphics — and it changes in seconds instead of a reprint cycle.
Camera-safe by default
3,840 Hz refresh means no banding on phone video or broadcast cameras. Essential anywhere customers film.
One CMS, every window
Push one campaign to every storefront you operate from a single dashboard, scheduled by daypart, with local override where you need it.
Serviceable in place
Strip- and module-level replacement with 5% spares stocked per project. No scaffolding, no screen-wide swap-outs.

Yes. From inside you look through the back of the screen to the street. Transparency runs 55% on dense mesh up to 95% on wide-pitch film — the higher the transparency, the wider the pixel pitch and the further back your audience needs to be.
We spec 3,000+ nits against your glass orientation and tint, and up to 6,000 for direct-sun frontages. Low-E and tinted glazing can absorb around a third of the output, which is exactly why we ask for a photo of the actual window before putting a brightness figure in writing.
Roughly 200 W/m² on average content — a 4 m² window is about one domestic space heater. Peak white draws roughly double that, so we specify a dedicated circuit sized to peak, not average.
Film is thin, light, flexible and hangs off the frame — best for existing glass, curves and installs where nobody wants structure. Mesh is a framed cabinet system: less transparent but brighter and more robust, better for very large spans, outdoor-facing curtain walls and permanent architectural integration.
Hologram fans create a genuine floating 3D effect in mid-air and draw a crowd, but they show one object on a dark background rather than full-frame content, and they need dim ambient light to read well. Most clients run fans at an entrance or a stand as an attention device and transparent film for the actual campaign.
Window-facing motion content can count as regulated signage in some municipalities, and listed frontages have separate rules. We run the check during quoting so any restriction shows up before you commit.
Stock film and fan configurations ship in days. Custom-cut film and framed mesh typically run 20–25 business days from confirmed measurements, plus freight. We confirm dates in the quote and flag anything that would miss a store opening.
