Mirage, the INSTANT HOLOGRAM
MAKER, Challenges Reality!

"Seeing is believing." A cliche, perhaps, but it accurately describes the compelling 3-D illusions produced by Mirage, from Opti-Gone Associates.

Mirage produces a small, full-color hologram of natural, lifelike appearance, allowing 360-degree viewing.

To achieve these effects, the Mirage utilizes a patented technology of two concealed, opposing parabolic mirrors. In overall appearance, Mirage resembles a small wok with a 2-inch circular opening in the top. The physical object to be converted to a hologram is placed in the concave center of the bottom mirror. A hologram instantly projects up through this aperature, appearing to the viewer as a truly solid object.

The marvels of this nine inch diameter device are numerous:

• It is powered by ambient light;
• No film is neccessary;
• Objects are rendered in full,
   natural color;
• Objects may be easily changed;
• Objects display full, 3-D appearance;
• Viewable from 360 degrees;
• No skill or training needed to operate it.
