We first brought you news of Zebra Imaging’s holographic prints back in February, but Engadget just dug up two impressive new video demonstrations of their products and a few interesting numbers on the company.
To date, over 8,000 ZScapes have already been developed for the US military, but surprisingly their prices range between $1,500 for a 12- x 18-inch version to $3,500 for the largest 2- x 3-foot size, making them relatively obtainable for those not on Defense Department tabs.
So, 8000 ZScapes at the minimum price ($1500) = $12Million. Not a bad chunk of change. See the videos below.

We did some Zebra prints a few years back, and we paid about 15x that per square foot. Now that the price has come down, we might try doing some more. The effect is really nice, but you have to have the right lighting. Ambient light kills the effect, as it does for any hologram.
