A spinning LED blade draws a flat image that looks solid

HYPERVSN's own pages describe a rotating-blade display; the resulting image is flat, not volumetric.

What the record documents

HYPERVSN is the trading name of Kino-mo Ltd, a company its own history page states was 'founded in 2011 by Kiryl Chykeyuk and his friend Art Stavenka', with the same page dating the product's 'commercial launch' to the CES trade show in 2017. This entry treats those as company-stated facts rather than independently confirmed dates, and covers the display as a mechanism rather than as a single dated event, since no announcement document was opened for this record beyond the company's own current pages, retrieved 16 September 2026.

What creates the image

The device is, mechanically, a fan: HYPERVSN's own technology page states the product is 'the four-ray LED-based display' that 'rotates faster than the eye can see, leaving only the...content floating in midair'. Four thin blades, each carrying a line of LEDs, spin around a central hub. As each blade sweeps past a given point in space, its LEDs flash the correct colour for that instant, timed so precisely to the rotation that a full circle's worth of flashes builds up, frame by frame, into what looks like a continuously lit picture hanging in the air. This is the same persistence-of-vision principle behind a spinning sparkler trail or an old zoetrope, executed with LEDs and a motor controller instead of paper slots. The company's product page separately describes the same unit as 'a four-ray rotor display that shows 3D content which appears to float in midair'.

Why the picture is flat, not volumetric

Despite the vendor's repeated use of the word 'holographic', nothing in the pages reviewed here describes the display producing an image with genuine depth or parallax; the blades sweep out a single flat disc in space, and every LED flash belongs to that one plane, the way a spinning propeller traces a flat circle rather than a sphere. A viewer walking around the unit sees the same flat picture from the back as from the front, mirrored, rather than a different view revealing hidden depth - the defining difference between this category and the light-field and volumetric mechanisms covered elsewhere on this site. None of the pages reviewed for this entry state a rotation speed in revolutions per minute, a viewing-angle limit, or any guard, clearance or installation safety specification for the spinning blades themselves; those are vendor gaps this entry notes rather than fills.

Questions to bring to a demo

• What physical guard, clearance or enclosure does the installation guidance actually specify around the spinning blades?
• Is the image identical from the front and back of the disc, as the flat-plane mechanism implies?
• What happens to visible brightness or flicker at the edge of the swept disc compared with its centre?

The word 'holographic' in the product's own marketing is a claim about how the image feels to look at, not a claim this record can verify against the disclosed mechanism, which is a bright, fast, genuinely clever, and entirely flat rotating display.
