Hololithic Projectors,[1] or just Holo-Projectors,[2b] are Imperial devices, that display holo images or recordings,[1] sometimes called hololiths.[5]
Contents
Description
Holo-Projectors are cased in brass and surrounded by chrome-sheathed cables and hissing steam, constructed and maintained by some of the most ancient and sacred rituals. Projectors are most often found in briefing rooms where they can be linked to a cogitator or another data feed. From this data input a cone-shaped, blue-tinged image is projected by the device.[2b]
Another way of image projection is through the use of an inserted Data-Crystal, which the Projectors cause to spin and then send a beam of light into. Doing so causes the images or recordings the Crystal contains to be displayed and any nearby lights may need to be dimmed, for the Projectors to show a more clearer image.[1]
Usage
Hololithic Projectors can also be found on the bridges of starships, visually representing the data collected by the spaceship's sensor array. Shaded in laser blue, the resulting tri-d image can be of a star system, with each planet individually displayed,[3a] or of a hostile armada, with identified enemy ships having their armament and manoeuvring capabilities displayed beneath their tri-d simulacra. The capabilities of unknown spaceship are also displayed, estimated based upon mass, power signature and similarities to known vessels.[3b]
Hololithic technology can be applied on a variety of scales. Sometime used in small hand-held devices known as Holo Wafers,[2a] or to project an image of a large, glowing holo statue several meters tall in a bazaar or other area of a hive city.[7a] Some digital weapons are also equipped with technology to create a hololith.
Known patterns
Holo-reactive Prime User Interface
The Holo-reactive Prime User Interface is a type of holo-projection that is controllable by the user with simple gestures or series of movements. The user is surrounded by the three-dimensional images and simply has to 'press', 'pull' or 'turn' the holos to manipulate, activate or deactivate the device. This control method vastly improves the Projector's responses and accuracy and allows for significant miniaturization in comparison to Projectors using conventional control systems. Recent advancements even allows the tailoring of the Prime User Interface to its available surrounding, making it excel in cramped conditions.[4]
The Holo-reactive Prime User Interface was recreated from research conducted into pre-Imperial times at Temple Majoris of the Machine God. It can be integrated with every Erechtheus-pattern subsystem.[4]
Vid-Imager
Vid-Imager is a small hololithic recording device.[6]
