Transparent Projection Surface
HoloPro is a transparent surface for rear projection, which is almost completely unaffected by
the surrounding light and can be used indoors and outdoors. HoloPro is a hologram, i.e. a film
irradiated with a refraction grid. This film is laminated between two special plates of glass.
HoloPro consists of several holographic optical elements (HOE), which are arranged on one level,
and is irradiated by a projector. The projection on the HoloPro screen is made from a specific
angle, and as a result only light from this stipulated angle is visible. With this direction-oriented
projection, the surrounding light which shines on the HoloPro screen from any other angle has
almost no effect on the picture quality. Compared to other projection surfaces, HoloPro screens
have “an eye-catching brilliance.”

Veriflex
First introduced in Japan and then the United States in 1984, shape memory polymers are
polymers whose qualities have been altered to give them dynamic shape “memory” properties.
Using thermal stimuli, shape memory polymers can exhibit a radical change from a rigid polymer
to a very elastic state, then back to a rigid state again. In its elastic state, the polymer will recover
its “memory” shape if left unrestrained. However, while pliable it can be stretched, folded or
otherwise conformed to other shapes, tolerating up to 200% elongation. While manipulated, the
shape memory polymer can be cooled and therefore returned to a rigid state, maintaining its
manipulated shape indefinitely. This manipulation process can be repeated many times without
degradation, and CRG can tailor most polymers with shape memory properties. Veriflex is a twopart,
fully formable thermoset shape memory polymer (SMP) resin system with unique “memory”
properties. Heated above its activation temperature, Veriflex changes from a rigid polymer to a
very elastic state. In this elastic state, it can be twisted, pulled, bent, and stretched, reaching up
to 200% elongation. If cooled while constrained in the new shape, the polymer hardens and can
maintain its deformed configuration indefinitely. When heated above its activation temperature
again, this polymer returns to the shape in which it was cured. This process can be repeated
indefinitely without loss of the memory shape or degradation of the material. Thermochromic
Veriflex allows for easier use and functionality of the cured resin. When the thermochromic
version of Veriflex has reached its transition temperature, it changes color to signal its readiness
to be molded, shaped, and formed. This eliminates possible problems with heating the material
too much or not enough. Both standard and thermochromic Veriflex resins are engineered with
a transition temperature (Tg) of 62°C.

3d Display Cube
3D Display Cube is a true spatial display unit that utilizes one thousand individually controllable
LEDs to create three-dimensional forms and animations. The display cube, with its creative use
of LED technology, can be used for retail or public display, signage applications, home display,
or advertising. James Clar conceived of 3D Display Cube as a reaction to the limitations of current
display technologies. Televisions and computer monitors, for example, can only deliver twodimensional
information because their display surface is flat. In contrast, 3D Display Cube uses
a spatial array of LED pixels, which in aggregate create true spatial images and animations. 3D
Display Cube’s technology is backed by one issued utility patent and two pending utility patents.
Upon purchase, the buyer may select up to five one-minute animations to be preloaded onto the
device for immediate use upon delivery. A serial cable is also included, allowing users to design
and upload their own animations and content to the cube.
