It’s been the stuff of science fiction for decades. No, not aliens taking over the White House. I’m talking about hologram calls instead of your regular old video meetings. Imagine if you will, a world where you can actually beam a 3D version of yourself into the office of your remote-working boss, Princess Leia-style. And you don’t even need an R2D2 to do it.

The technology to do this is actually already here. This is not the future, this is now. Los Angeles-based company Proto has developed technology that allows you to beam a full-body 4K hologram of yourself anywhere in the world through their Proto Epic portal.

Projected hologram effects have been popular since about 1977.

But they can still be quite intimidating to those new to Photoshop. Creating them is a fairly simple process, though.

In this video, photographer Nemanja Sekulic walks us through his technique to create composited holograms in Photoshop. It’s a fairly long video at 13 minutes, but it contains a lot of tips and advice on how to work around potential problems you may face and things for you to experiment with to make the effect your own.
