Abstract:
A holographic product labeling method includes defining a holographic image having content adapted to convey information relating to a product. In another aspect, the method includes providing a substrate encoded with a hologram adapted to render the holographic image. In yet another aspect, the method includes labeling the product with the substrate. Various implementations include use of true and/or multiplex holograms. Use of a transparent holographic substrate and an under label is further explored, as are uses of increased display capability provided to a given region of the holographic label according to the present invention.
Abstract:
A method of inducing a sale of a product (306) in a retail environment includes providing the product (306) in a storage structure (302) from which a potential purchaser may take physical possession of the product (306). A true hologram (300, 300A, 300B, 300C) is provided to project a three-dimensional holographic image into a first space (304, 304A, 304B, 304C) proximate to the storage structure (302) to attract potential purchaser attention. The holographic image from the true hologram (300, 300A, 300B, 300C) is used to communicate information about the product (306) to the potential purchaser.
