lEARN MORE ABOUT HOLOGRAPHIC FANS
Holographic fans create bright, floating 3D visuals that appear to hover in mid-air. Discover how the technology works, what you can display, and how businesses are using holograms to attract attention.
WHAT CAN IT DISPLAY?
Logos, products, characters, promotions — if you can imagine it, the fan can float it. Watch what each content type looks like in mid-air.
Your logo floating in mid-air, spinning in 3D — instant brand presence from across the room.
Rotate your product in stunning 3D — shoes, bottles, tech, anything. Perfect for retail windows.
Bring characters to life — from brand mascots to full animated scenes that stop foot traffic.
Sales, launches and announcements as floating visuals — update the content in seconds, no reprinting.
Traditional screens are everywhere. In stores, exhibitions and events, customers are surrounded by digital displays competing for the same attention. A holographic fan changes the way that content is presented. Instead of sitting inside a rectangular screen, images and animations appear to float in open space — creating something unexpected enough to make people look twice.
Traditional displays have become part of the background. Bigger screens, brighter screens and more digital signage don't always mean more attention. When people see the same format everywhere, it becomes easy to walk straight past it. For businesses, the challenge isn't simply displaying more content. It's creating a reason for someone to notice it in the first place.
The difference is how the image appears. A holographic fan removes the visible rectangle we're used to seeing around digital content. Against the right background, the display itself almost disappears, leaving the product, logo or animation appearing to float in mid-air. Movement, depth and the unexpected presentation naturally draw the eye — which is why holographic displays are particularly effective in busy spaces where attention is limited.
THOUSANDS OF LIGHTS. —
PERFECT TIMING.
ONE FLOATING IMAGE..
A holographic fan uses rows of LEDs mounted along rapidly rotating blades. As the blades spin, each LED turns on and off at a precise position, creating thousands of individual points of light. The movement happens too quickly for your eyes to see each point separately. Instead, your brain combines them into one complete image — an effect known as persistence of vision. With content designed against a black background, the unused areas virtually disappear, leaving the illuminated subject appearing to float in open space.
That's the holographic effect.
Blades light up and spin with precision to display the hologram effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about holographic displays — search below or browse by topic.
The blades spin at high speed while LEDs flash in precise patterns. Your eye blends the light into a floating 3D image — a technique called persistence of vision. The blades themselves disappear, leaving just your content in mid-air.
For businesses trying to capture attention, holographic fans can be an extremely effective form of digital advertising.
Traditional TVs, posters and digital signage are everywhere. Because consumers see conventional 2D screens every day, they're increasingly easy to ignore.
A holographic fan creates something very different: bright animated content that appears to float in mid-air.
That unusual visual effect naturally attracts attention and can encourage people to stop, look and engage with the display. This makes holographic advertising particularly well suited to:
Holographic fans also allow businesses to change their content rather than continually replacing physical signage. The same display can be used for product launches, promotions, logos, seasonal campaigns and new advertising content.
For businesses competing for attention in busy environments, that's where a holographic display can offer a significant advantage over conventional signage.
Yes. Compatible holographic fans can be synchronized together to create a much larger holographic video wall.
For large installations, we recommend models such as the Holofex HoloU65 Ultra Series, which supports multi-fan synchronization.
Instead of every fan displaying the same image, the content is divided across the individual displays. When correctly positioned and synchronized, the fans work together to create the appearance of one enormous holographic image.
A single network can synchronize up to 20 compatible units per router, with larger systems capable of scaling to up to 100 displays depending on the installation and network configuration.
This allows Holofex systems to scale from a small multi-fan display to extremely large holographic installations covering entire walls, stages and building-scale spaces.
Absolutely. Company logos are one of the most popular types of content displayed on holographic fans.
For the best holographic effect, a standard 2D logo can be animated and placed against a completely black background. When displayed by the holographic fan, the black portion effectively disappears, leaving the illuminated logo appearing to float in the air.
Holofex provides several ways to create this content.
Our AI Holo Lab can help transform logos and ideas into hologram-ready animations using AI, making professional holographic content much more accessible without requiring advanced animation skills.
For businesses requiring something completely custom, the Holofex design team can also create professionally designed holographic animations for your brand, product or campaign.
A quality holographic fan can provide years of commercial use when properly installed and maintained.
The LEDs themselves are designed for an extremely long operating life and are generally not the first component that will require replacement. Motor lifespan varies according to operating hours, environment, maintenance and how the display is used, but a well-maintained holographic fan can typically remain operational for several years.
Another advantage of the modular design is that individual LED blades can be replaced if they are accidentally damaged. This means damage to a blade doesn't necessarily require replacing the entire holographic display.
Regular cleaning, adequate cooling and correct installation will help maximise the lifespan of both the LEDs and motor.
Yes, holographic fans are designed for extended operation, but recommended operating times depend on the model.
Holofex uses commercial-quality motors and long-life LEDs; however, for many standard holographic fan models, we recommend allowing the device to cool down and reset after approximately 8–10 hours of continuous operation.
This is particularly important in warm environments or installations with limited airflow.
For businesses requiring displays to operate continuously for significantly longer periods, Holofex also offers commercial solutions designed for extended operation, including applications requiring 24-hour display cycles.
Following the recommended operating schedule helps reduce heat, protect components and maximise the working life of your holographic display.
For most standard trade show and exhibition booths, we recommend the Holofex Holopack.
The Holopack was specifically designed as a portable holographic display solution for events and trade shows. It combines:
A 65cm hologram provides a strong visual impact without taking over a standard exhibition booth, while the adjustable stand allows the display to be positioned at an effective viewing height.
For larger exhibition spaces, multiple displays or larger F-Series holographic fans can be used to create an even greater visual impact.

The blades spin at high speed while LEDs flash in precise patterns. Your eye blends the light into a floating 3D image — a technique called persistence of vision. The blades themselves disappear, leaving just your content in mid-air.
The image appears to float because the spinning LED blades become almost invisible to the human eye. Only the illuminated LEDs are visible, making it seem as though the image is suspended in mid-air.
The darker the background behind the display, the stronger and more convincing the floating hologram effect becomes.

The ideal size depends on where it will be installed and how far away your audience will be.
As a general guide:
For most customers that are looking for a standard display we recommend the 25 inch or 65cm size. This provides a large display for a significant hologram whilst maintaining some portability.
If you’re unsure, our team can recommend the best solution based on your space and goals.
Resolution depends on the number of LEDs built into the spinning blades.
Higher LED counts produce:
Commercial holographic fans are available in a range of resolutions to suit different applications.
The Holofex HOLOU65 and HOLOPACK comes with 1280 leds the highest on the market for the size.
Holographic fans can be used outdoors for temporary events or sheltered locations, but they are not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain, heavy moisture, or harsh weather conditions.
For outdoor installations, we recommend placing the display under cover or inside a weather-protected enclosure.
If you require an outdoor display Holofex has custom options please reach out to support.
Yes. Holofex holographic fans are designed to be highly portable, making them suitable for trade shows, exhibitions, demonstrations and travelling sales teams.
When disassembled, many Holofex fans pack into a box approximately 60 × 15 × 12cm, depending on the model. The blades detach from the motor, dramatically reducing the amount of space required for transport.
The HoloStand also packs down to approximately 90 × 15cm, making the fan and stand relatively easy to transport between locations.
Protective covers require more space because of their circular shape. For example, the Holopack protective cover is approximately 68cm in diameter, so additional care and luggage space should be allowed when travelling.
We recommend securely packing the motor and individual LED blades to prevent damage during transport.
Yes, but very little.
Most commercial holographic fans produce a gentle hum similar to a quiet computer cooling fan. Higher-quality commercial units generally operate more quietly than cheaper consumer models because they use better-balanced motors and higher-grade bearings.
In most retail environments, the sound is barely noticeable.
If noise is an issue we recommend a safety cover this significantly reduces the noise.

Yes. Commercial holographic fans are designed with safety in mind when installed and operated correctly.
Many models include:
For public installations, we recommend using a protective cover or mounting the unit out of reach, particularly in busy environments.
Not in the scientific sense.
A holographic fan creates the visual illusion of a hologram using advanced LED technology and Persistence of Vision. While it doesn’t project light into empty space like science-fiction holograms, the effect is remarkably realistic and appears to float in mid-air.
The concept is seeing is believing and in the case of holographic fans most people believe it is a hologram.
The best hologram fan depends on your use case, size and mounting style. Generally speaking the more LED's the fan has the better the quality. Holofex HOLOU65 has 1280leds for a 25inch or 65cm Fan this is considered the highest density on the market.
For a shop window, the best hologram fan depends primarily on the available space, mounting position and whether the display requires a protective enclosure.
If the unit can be securely mounted behind the window and out of reach, a standalone F-Series or Ultra Series holographic fan can provide an impressive floating hologram effect without requiring an enclosure.
Our 85cm and 100cm F-Series models are particularly effective for larger windows because their increased display diameter makes the hologram easier to see from a distance.
Where a freestanding installation or additional protection is required, the HoloDisplay combines the holographic display with a protective enclosure and base cabinet.
For the strongest effect, we recommend positioning the holographic fan away from direct sunlight and against a darker background wherever possible.

Yes. Our displays run high-brightness LEDs (up to 2800cd/m²) designed for lit retail spaces and exhibition halls. For direct sunlight we recommend the larger, brighter models — ask us for a recommendation.
Three ways: the Holofex app over Wi-Fi Direct, a direct HDMI connection on HDMI Series fans (mirrors your screen live), or via Holofex Studio where you can create and export content built for hologram fans.
MP4 video and common image formats (PNG, JPG) work out of the box. For best results use content with a pure black background — black renders as transparent air on a hologram fan.
The blades spin fast, so displays should be mounted out of reach or fitted with a protective cover in walk-up spaces. Most of our fans take an acrylic safety cover, and the HoloCabinet is fully enclosed for retail floors.
Yes — our displays are commercial-grade and engineered for continuous operation in retail environments and exhibitions.
