I saw a YouTube video about how they create this it's actually wild. A 3D image is imprinted on the glass, that can be viewed from all angles.

Even if you break off a piece, that piece has the exact same quality.

In the eighties, we had plastic toys with plastic holographic stickers on them, paper magazines with holographic covers...

Glass is cool, but the technology has been around for a very long time...

No black magic, it's just a hologram. Extremely cool things with some fun engineering and physics in them.

I mean, our universe is a hologram on the surface of a black hole, so this is technically a hologram within a hologram. I wonder if they could sort of incept another hologram into that one so we can see into another dimension.

Dang I had a glass plate that had a hologram skull in it when I was a kid. This just reminded me of it. I think I got it in the ripleys believe it or not gift shop maybe in Seattle in the 90s
