How new ‘energy-saving’ hologram technology backed by Mark Cuban could change how we experience life in 10 years
An innovative hologram technology could be on the cutting edge of energy conservation.
Backed by Shark Tank entrepreneur Mark Cuban, Hypervsn has come a long way and could change our daily lives sooner than later.

Hypervsn - a first-of-its kind hologram company ten years in the making - predicts that, in the next decade, life in the 3D will be more commonplace.
When asked about the workings of the technology, CEO and co-founder Dr Kiryl Chykeyuk started with one key word: "Magic."
Elaborating futher, he spilled to The U.S. Sun that "there are lines of LEDs that spin very fast. A human's eye cannot catch the fast movement.
"The only thing that we see is a clear, coherent image floating in the air."
Hypervsn's technology utilizing lots of fans with LED lights spinning quicker than the eye can see is unique to their company, and 2023's CES is not their first rodeo.
Five years ago, Shark Tank entrepreneur Mark Cuban found them at the trade show, and, wowed by their invention, he became one of their investors; his hologram even made a special appearance in their CES booth.
"He fell in love with the technology and then he invested in us," Dr Chykeyuk said.
They claim to have the largest hologram projection available in the world, and, though absolutely stunning and bright, it is hardly just a pretty image.
Their unique innovation could help aid in Earth conservation efforts due to its tremendous energy-saving capabilities.
"If you look at a single hologram, 22 inches...the resolution of it would be about a million pixels, right? But to render this resolution, we're using only 900 leds."
When "using a conventional standard LED display, you would need one million physical LEDs. 900 LEDs versus a million...That's obviously a lot more friendly for the environment.
"We're also consuming 30 percent less power for the same brightness for the same resolution."
Even the definition of hologram has changed throughout time; it used to mean a special laser system that would create an image, but now it applies to this and other technologies that can render an image free-floating in the air.
With their magical hologram technology, they can turn anybody into a hologram just by having them stand in the right spot.
Still, it is not savvy for the average television watcher to replace their TV quite yet.
"You wouldn't really just replace [your TV] because the conventional 2D display normally projects just 2D graphics.. we project 3D graphics.
"We're basically taking customer experience to the next level with 3D quantum.
"Ideally, you would want to have 3D content for our products," and this is something more content creators are beginning to pick up on.
In theory, a 3D film could play nicely on such a holographic system, but even the most advanced markets are still rounding the corner on making such a system pedestrian.
To some, ten years may seem like a long time, but Dr Chykeyuk believes "the future is right now, right here."
