## What is Holographium 2026?

Dust off your DSLR. Holographium turns your iPhone or iPad into a 3D Light Painting Machine: it sweeps glowing text and graphics through the dark, and your camera catches them as holograms floating in a real photograph.

No filters. No compositing. The magic happens inside your camera, in one single long exposure.

HOW THE TRICK WORKS

Type a word or load a graphic. Holographium slices it into thousands of luminous cross-section frames. Press commit, and the machine beams them out one by one while you move your iPhone or iPad slowly through your camera's frame. The open shutter collects every slice into one picture: your text hangs in mid-air as a solid body of light, with depth you can actually see.

YOU BRING THE CAMERA

Holographium paints the light. Your camera takes the photo. You need a camera that can keep its shutter open for at least 3 seconds: a DSLR, a mirrorless, or any camera with a true long-exposure mode. Put it on a tripod, dim the lights, and paint.

NOT JUST AN APP. A MACHINE.

Turquoise doors slide open with a click. An aperture-blade wheel spins under your finger. Panels glow, dials tick, and every move answers with mechanical sound and haptic feedback. Holographium is an instrument you operate, and it is fun long before the shutter opens.

TEXT AND GRAPHICS

• Text mode: type anything, from words to nearly any Unicode symbol, in nine glowing colors.
• Graphics mode: extrude logos, icons, even photos. Import your own images in PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP and more.
• Starter graphics included, so your first hologram is minutes away.

MACHINE-GRADE PRECISION

• Dial the sweep from 3 to 30 seconds, in half-second steps.
• Set a countdown of up to 30 seconds to get into position.
• Control the depth of your hologram and read the exact sweep distance in inches or centimeters on the LCD.
• Optional interval clicks and a halfway cue keep your hand on pace while the shutter is open.

MADE FOR NIGHT SHOOTERS

Light painters, long-exposure addicts, photographers hunting for a shot nobody else has: this is your new favorite prop. Write a name in the air at a party. Float your logo above your product. Paint something impossible into a night sky.

GUIDED FROM THE FIRST SHOT

A step-by-step light painting guide, tips and an FAQ are built right in. Your first hologram is closer than you think.

Charge your iPhone or iPad. Open the shutter. Paint with light. Take the shot no one else has!


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 3.1 — 2026-08-21

The machine glows for real!

Holographium now illuminates its interface in HDR. Turn the wheel in the top left corner to dial the interface illumination up or down. The turquoise panels, dials and glowing text burn brighter, so the machine looks lit from the inside instead of drawn on the glass.

Plus a round of bugfixes and polish under the hood.

### 3.0.2 — 2026-08-14

No release notes.
