How Do I Upload Content to a Hologram Fan? Three Easy Ways
One of the first questions many customers ask after purchasing a hologram fan is:
"How do I upload my content?"
The good news is that uploading videos, animations and holographic content to a Holofex display is quick and straightforward. Whether you're updating a promotion in your retail store or preparing a display for a trade show, Holofex provides multiple ways to get your content onto your hologram fan.
Depending on your display model and application, there are three main methods:
