It goes together quickly and creates a very cool convincing floating image. Comes with several demo videos and then the needed software to make your own, to an extent. Making your own requires photos or videos with a black background, and the export process is a bit of an experiment each time. I've had some success with GIFs. I do wish the software was not limited to Windows machines; I'm having to use Crossover to make it run on my Mac. I also wish there was a larger library available somewhere. But the fan itself works well and has become my children's favorite decoration in the house, haha. Read more

The overall quality of this thing is okay at best and while the stand seems beefy, the fan and shroud itself seems very flimsy. It's quite bright and the included videos are a fun demo of what it can do. The software is included on the MicroSD card that comes pre installed inside the fan unit itself. It's poorly written and poorly made and after quite a bit of trial and error, I was able to make my own videos. The functionality is mediocre at best and given how clunky the quality and software are, I'd say the value for the money isn't really there. Read more

The software only works with Windows. Make sure you Run as Administrator and you won't have any issues converting videos. The model you need to select to make the videos is the H18. If you contact the seller, they'll send you a google drive link with loads of videos. That was nowhere to be found, but they did respond quickly with the info. Videos/photos look so so. This is really best for the cutesy little videos they provide and great for advertising. Mine came with a clear broken case as other have had happen, but I did an exchange with Amazon and that one was fine. Although the videos look like they're floating in air if you take the fan out of the plastic. Read more

So, this holographic fan works, and feels well-enough built. However, for my purposes, it's too expensive for something that is just a toy. I say it's just a toy for three reasons - first, I have no idea how to access the 700 image library that's supposed to exist. I found nothing about that in any of the materials, either on Amazon or in what was sent to me, and the manufacturer doesn't even seem to have a website, at least not one that I can find. Second, the Windows app that came with it doesn't seem to open any of my videos, and the images that I may or may not have been able to convert don't seem to save to the SD card (or anywhere else). Lastly, the app that I downloaded to my phone (more about that below), is very buggy (sometimes it does something, sometimes it doesn't), and even though I was able to use it to upload an image to the fan, the image is a digital mess. It obviously needs some kind of format conversion, but there doesn't seem to be any help or explanation in regard to that. So, I'm stuck with the mostly dull videos that were loaded on the fan from the factory, the only one of which that is somewhat entertaining to me being the nemo copyright violation. But that renders this fan just a toy, right? To say that I was sorely disappointed with my experience with the android app would be a sever understatement. The QR code sends you to a page where you can mistakenly load all sorts of irrelevant malware to your phone. Why would a respectable manufacturer want to send their customers to such a sight? Even if you select the appropriate link, your phone will require that you disable all kinds of malware protections in order to get the .apk loaded. Again, why wouldn't a respectable manufacturer upload their software to one of the two app stores? The apps don't sell anything, so there wouldn't be any revenue percentage to lose by doing so. So, I'm thinking that the hardware isn't so bad. But the software supporting it is abysmal. All that said, if you feel that you would like to mush on with this product, I will note that the fan noise is not excessive, and if you only use the fan with the remote control, it works very easily out of the box with the pre-loaded videos. I had it up and running in that manner within a couple minutes of unpacking it. And then spent unsuccessful hours trying to get anywhere past that point. I can't recommend this device. Read more

I have another one of these that I love, but it doesn't have the case. I got this one because my kids also love the hologram machine but it’s dangerous without the case. This one has the case built around it making it a lot safer. It looks super cool from afar — definitely eye-catching. Good price as well. Definitely get a hologram machine with a protective case. I can see this being cool in an office as well. Read more

Definitely a talking point in the room! The detail in which this fan can create graphics is awesome Read more
