Menu set up for the Earth, Moon and Mars
Selecting some locations will load a photogrammetric outcrop such as this one showing a fold axis at Beavertail RI
On the Moon you can observe landing site DTMs
DEMs of Earth locations can be exokplored
A user may also search the earthquake catalog and plot earthquake locations in 3D, or plot locations of structures within the Earth such as the large low shear velocity provinces in the lower mantle

Holographic Videos
Holographic videos are generated by using the Mixed Reality Capture camera onboard the HoloLens that can also be utilized for streaming holographic experiences to a desktop monitor.
The holograms appear more opaque for the user, as the camera is affected by the brightness of the room background.
