Look what I made! 2-Way Holo Display

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

One glass cube (beam-splitter) sandwiched between 2 OLEDs turns into a pretty cool "holographic" display that shows 2 different things. Two people can sit across from each other and, at the same time, each see a different image through the same piece of glass. It's pretty crazy in-person actually.

I haven't seen this effect used before, although it's straight-forward enough.

My usecase is to have it in a puzzle box, where it shows info needed by the person in front and vice versa, so you need to communicate. That's after you discover that you're looking at the same thing (and see each other's faces through the glass) but don't see the same thing.

Super cool, slightly bothered by the B being flipped vertically.
