Pepper's Ghost Illusion - How To Make A Floating Hologram

Making your own Pepper's Ghost Illusion? I'm going to teach you how the effect works, and how to make a hologram with a floating animation.
#peppersghost #hologram
Pepper’s Ghost Illusions can be seen all over the world in haunted houses, hands on exhibits, Universal Studios, and Disneyworld. The essential device employed to stage the illusion is an optical beam splitter operated in mirror to combine two images towards the audience's point of view. The image of one scene is reflected from the glass surface towards the viewers, and the image of a second scene is transmitted through the glass.

I think this was what my science teacher asked me when I was a 5th grader. She showed me this illusion and made us write down how it worked. Annnnd she didn't provide the answer. I found it after all these years.... appreciate it.

Back in the '60's, I worked carnival midways. The big moneymaker was the Girl to Gorilla! The girl went up the step of the stage the curtain temporarily closed, when open she was seen at the back of the stage behind a set of bars. Slowly the hair grew her face changed until all you saw was the Gorrilla who then went berserk came forward busting through the bars. Half the audience ran screaming from the tent. The gorilla finally corralled was put back in the stage/Cage. Eventually turning back into a girl. The curtain closed as the girl came down from the stage. It then became a standard for many years on many midways.

I remember years ago how this illusion was NO WHERE to be found on the internet. It was a very secretive technique even when it is a very old one used in theaters decades and decades ago. I had to literally come out with the concept myself and now it is everywhere. The good part about experimenting to find out the effect is that I discovered other things in the process, other ways to make it happen in specific circunstances that I still haven't seen on the internet.

??? It's been everywhere for decades. I was reading about it in books when I was a kid, and it was all over the Halloween lists and project pages since the 90s. Kids discover it every time they try to look out of a dark window with a flashlight and see themselves. I'm not diminishing you figuring it out (you always have to figure out how to apply someone else's stuff to your own project, a necessary skill) but sheesh.

Ok, I'm looking to build something like this that works off a cell phone or tablet, but what I can't find is a guide to what exactly I should get for the beamsplitter mirror. Are there different kinds for different applications (i.e. more ethereal vs more lifelike)? Are there ways to enlarge the image from the source? Most importantly, where can I get this stuff and what will it cost?

Pepper’s Ghost effect can also be seen as the entire dashboard display of my 1994 JDM Toyota Soarer. Every readout has its own beamsplitter mirror, eg. Fuel gauge, indicators, speedometer etc etc and all at different distances from the driver. This means that when you turn the ignition on, a completely empty, inky black dash display suddenly lights up with “magically” appearing displays that have a super cool 3D effect. A version of this car was sold in America as the “Lexus SC400” but unfortunately wasn’t equipped with the amazing dashboard or any of the other cool stuff like world’s first patented in-car touchscreen infotainment centre (crt) and adjustable air suspension, self cleaning mirrors etc etc. The downside is that even on full brightness, on a very sunny day if you are wearing sunglasses it is very hard to read. This is helped by wearing polarised sunnies but it’s still too dark. In every other lighting condition it looks spectacular though and I put up with it because I’m a gigantic nerd.🤓 Cool video, now when people keep asking me “How does that dash work?” (Or it’s more like “WHA??? HOW DOES THAT DASH WORK??”) But I don’t like yelling. I’ll show them this.
