Holography
Holography is a technological system that forms a visual representation of an object in three physical dimensions, as opposed to the planar image of traditional screens that simulate depth through a number of different visual effects. Holography is employed in a variety of functions - communications, battle and sensor displays, and as distractions and decoys. Devices used to project holograms are commonly referred to as holoplatforms.
Human Holography
Humans uses holographic technology in a variety of ways. Artificial intelligence constructs, for an example, project holographic representations of themselves for personal communications with humans, with each AI taking a unique appearance of their own choice. Humans also use similar holographic projections for communication between individual ships, allowing the commanding officer of one ship to "appear" on another to deliver a message where normal access between the two vessels is restricted or too far away. Many human warships, bases and other facilities are also equipped with holographic tables, these are used to project topographical maps, militaristic scenarios or other holographic images for tactical purposes.
Holography is frequently used in human computer terminals, which, though not actually solid, respond accordingly to physical input without the need for a separate device such as a touchpad. Holography also has many civilian uses. For example, some nightclubs make extensive use of holograms. Humans also use holographic technology to display holographic "photographs", referred to as holo-pictures. Holographic tape is used to display information on the sides of civilian vehicles, most commonly emergency and construction vehicles.
Yictan Holography
The Yictan were undoubtedly one of the most advanced civilizations to ever grace the galaxy. Their technological prowess was simply staggering, and their mastery of holography was perhaps their most impressive accomplishment. Their projections were truly a sight to behold, far surpassing the capabilities of any known species. In fact, even the most advanced civilizations in the galaxy today, like the Hivivian Empire, the Staalzi, or even Asiel, pale in comparison to the Yictan's abilities.
The Yictan's holographic projections were so accurate and lifelike that it was often difficult to distinguish them from physical objects. To achieve this level of realism, they utilized sophisticated hard light technology, which allowed them to simulate solidity in their projections. This was a feat that even the most advanced civilizations today are yet to fully master. But the Yictan didn't just use their holographic technology for practical purposes; they also used it to create stunningly realistic decorations for their interior spaces. Even after eons of neglect, the Yictan ruins underneath CAMELOT Base on Harmony were still capable of projecting a myriad of environments from hundreds of worlds. It was a testament to the unmatched artistry of the Yictan and their unparalleled mastery of holography.
For those fortunate enough to have witnessed the Yictan's holographic projections in person, it was truly a mind-blowing experience. And yet, even though the Yictan civilization is long gone, their legacy lives on through their remarkable achievements in holography.
