Do I wear holofil on my head?

Holofil is not a head mounted display and you *do not* wear it on your head to see the simulated 3D visualizations. It is positioned on a flat surface and viewed from a distance like a TV screen. 

how do I position holofil?

Holofil's positioning depends on the surroundings in which it is used. However, a general rule of thumb is the device should be placed on a flat surface such that the front screen is visible clearly at the height of viewing. The angle of viewing field is around 45 degree from the front. 

 

 

1. For Business related use cases it is recommended to position it on a flat surface such as a table, at an average person's viewing height when standing, such that customers can see visualization in it, while moving around in a store, waiting in queues for payments, order placement, etc. Display windows is a great place for its placement so that passerby people can see it and stop to notice your store. 

 

2. Home users can place it the living room on table surfaces such that the viewing height matches when sitting on chairs, sofas, etc.

 

3. In school settings, it could be placed on a table such that students can see its viewing surface while sitting on their desks.

Is holofil a virtual / augmented reality player?

Holofil could be used as a augmented / mixed reality player by making virtual objects and physical objects interact in unique ways. The design of Holofil allows placement of physical objects inside the box such that these physical objects can be made to  interact with the surrounding 3D visualizations to create a unique story. This allows it to be used a product promotion device where your products are placed inside and projection mapped content is created around it. This works really well. Check this demo preview where the car is a real scale model car surrounded by 3D content.
