Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a solution for providing a holographic projection. A plurality of holographic projecting mobile devices that are within a physical area are identified. A set of holographic object paths that can be projected using the identified holographic projecting mobile devices is determined. A holographic object path is selected from this set of holographic object paths. A holographic object is projected moving according to the holographic object path by the plurality of holographic projecting mobile devices.
Claims20
A method for providing a holographic projection, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of holographic projecting mobile devices within a physical area;
- determining a set of holographic object paths that can be projected using the plurality of holographic projecting mobile devices;
- selecting a holographic object path from the set of holographic object paths;
- and
- projecting, by the plurality of holographic projecting mobile devices, a holographic object moving according to the holographic object path.
A computer system for providing a holographic projection, the computer system comprising:
- a holographic projecting mobile device;
- a holographic projector controlled by the holographic projecting mobile device;
- a memory medium in the holographic projecting mobile device comprising program instructions;
- a bus in the holographic projecting mobile device coupled to the memory medium;
