In Brazil, a teacher uses holography to encourage students to study during quarantine.

Teacher Alberto Rodrigues, a resident of the city of Piraju, in the interior of São Paulo, made 200 pieces of holograms and distributed them to the parents of his students to assemble at home. The hologram allows you to view images in three dimensions with the interference of light. Thus, students place the hologram assembled on the cell phone screen and watch Alberto’s videos in 3D.
