Holographic artifacts you can rotate, open, and take apart, while the real object never leaves its case.

See HoloTube Materia in the gallery — play with sound.

Some objects are too fragile, too valuable, or too intricate to hand to a visitor. HoloTube Materia solves that. It is a photoreal 3D capture of a real object, an artifact, a rare specimen, a detailed product, rendered life-size inside a HoloTube. Visitors reach in, spin it, zoom into the fine detail, and pull it apart, exploring every angle and hidden layer while the original stays safe behind glass. Another Exhibitry original.

What we make

A perfect copy you can take apart.

We capture the object at museum fidelity, every surface, seam, and marking, and rebuild it as a holographic model that behaves like the real thing under the visitor’s hands. Where a plaque or a locked vitrine keeps people at arm’s length, Materia invites them in: open a mechanism, separate the layers, turn a priceless piece over in the light. The object becomes the exhibit, not a caption beside it.

How it works

Specified into the space, not parked in it.

Materia runs inside the HoloTube family, from a tabletop Mini to the flagship Zenith, so it scales to the object and the room. The interaction is touch, gesture, or both: tap to spin and open, or reach into mid-air and let the award-winning TouchFree system track the movement. The presentation is curated, so the story stays accurate and on-message, and it updates remotely, so new detail or a new object reaches the display without anyone opening a case. Custom-engineered and fabricated to fit the space, it reads as part of the room.

The safest way to let a visitor handle a priceless object is to hand them a perfect copy made of light.

Exhibitry — on designing for the built environment

Materia sits alongside the rest of ARCH, the life-size figures of HoloTube, the transparent SkyBox display wall, and real-time Smart AI Exhibits, as one more way to make the focal moment in a designed space.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

How accurate is the holographic copy?
We capture at museum fidelity, so the model carries the real object’s surfaces, seams, and markings. Visitors explore detail they could never get close enough to see on the original.
Does the real object need to be on site?
No. Once an object is captured, HoloTube Materia presents it anywhere, so a fragile or off-limits piece can appear in a lobby or gallery while the original stays in storage or on loan elsewhere.
Can it show more than one object?
Yes. The presentation is curated and updates remotely, so a single HoloTube Materia display can rotate through a collection without anyone opening the case.
