IKIN Ships a Holographic ARC Terminal That Requires No Headgears

Holograms for commercial and consumer applications are gaining traction. On Monday, San Diego-based IKIN announced the commercial availability of a desktop-sized holographic terminal that enables high-resolution holographic displays in ambient light.

A spokesman for IKIN said the IKIN ARC platform would be priced under $5,000 for a standard model that runs IKIN apps on an included Windows OS platform. It has a self-contained 15-inch display and can be tailored to specific applications in advanced engineering and design, logistics, and education.

It won’t require headgear or goggles for users to create and view holographic content using the Unity Technologies dev platform to create apps. Images on display can be moved by face and eye-tracking.
