Hello all!

My non-technologically minded supervisor has asked me if we can show
holograms in PowerPoint. I can find info on how to generate holograms, and I
know what they are...

I'm inclined to say that we cannot show holograms on PowerPoint because we
would need a hologram generating program and possibly a different projector..

Can someone just confirm this for me or let me know if I am wrong?

thanks!
 
AFAIK, PowerPoint does not have the ability to generate holograms

Can a regular computer screen even display holograms?

Good Morning Chris,

PowerPoint is a two dimensional display that can be altered in time.
Therefore it is possible to make the perception on depth and a third
dimension, but it is not possible to project in 3 dimensions.

1) I would verify that your boss is not pulling your leg
2) Find out what he/she really wants.

It is possible to do many things in PowerPoint that do not appear to be
flat, even though they are.

Not to my knowledge. I guess with a little work, you can make you image look somewhat 3 dimensional

I am going to guess by "hologram" your boss is referring to a 3D rendering
that can be viewed from any angle. The simple answer is, not PowerPoint
cannot import these formats (such as .pxr, .mgf, etc.). You do have two
options:
1. Have the rendering converted to a movie format, such as an .mpg or .wmv
and insert the movie
2. Use OFX, which is a 3D "add-in" for PPT (www.instanteffects.com)

Dear Bill

Thanks for the reply. My supervisor is "untechnically minded" enough that I
actually do not think he was pulling my leg.

I appreciate everyone's helpful comments.

Sincerely,

Chris
 
I'm not limber enough to stand on my head, can I just walk on my hands
instead?
