crazy cool.

(P.S. sorry if you guys have already heard of this, I did a couple searches but didnt find it mentioned, so I threw it up.)

Very interesting. After seeing this I had to look up how it was done. I'm not sure if it's a new medium as their suggesting, but it is very, very cool.

From http://www.rabbitholes.com/ under FAQ

"Red, green, and blue pulsed-lasers are used to embed a diffraction grating within a small thickness of holographic film. Each digital image in the sequence is divided into a given number of holo-pixels using proprietary algorithms. The holo-pixels are then assigned to their necessary location amongst a given number of rows and columns. This grid of unique holo-pixels is submitted to the Company's patented printers, which utilize red, green, and blue pulse-lasers to embed the data into the specially formulated emulsion film. The resulting prints must be front-lit from either the top or the bottom at a 45-degree angle by a direct white-light source such as a Halogen fixture or sunlight. With the white-light shining properly on a RabbitHole, the diffraction gratings bounce the light in an extremely specific wavelength, and therefore color, which allows RabbitHoles to reflect full-color images."

Now my imagination is running away with me, and I'm imagining this running on a wall like an old time film machine.
