Quick Definition

Example
Example in poetry:
“Holographic actors spring from AI’s vast mind” uses a contemporary adjective for projected three-dimensional imagery; “A holographic moon hovered above the stage” suggests light rather than physical substance; “Her holographic face fractured into color” makes digital display a metaphor for unstable identity; “The poem’s holographic city changed with every angle” emphasizes shifting perception
