DescriptionDigital artifacts that merge with our physically present environment and are detached from classical displays, imply a certain inherent but non-existent materiality. This thesis explores the incongruence between visually perceived materiality and the physical absence of holograms. It shows how material properties of real world objects can be simulated visually in holograms in order to
induce a natural feeling of interaction. This simulation is achieved by a material synthesizer that can generate various holographic materials that makes it
possible to investigate the visual materiality of holograms. The results are presented in a fictional scenario that includes prototypical holographic office toys for malicious and megalomaniac corporate overlords.
