What is a Vologram? The easiest way to sign a document electronically.

Are you sometimes asked to sign documents you’ve received online?

 

You can print them out and physically sign the paper with a pen - but you then have to scan it back into your computer or take a picture of it with a phone.

 

It can be time consuming and frustrating.

 

Online e-signature software like ‘signature’ and ‘docusign’ are often used in a professional context but there might be an even easier way.

 

If you turn the document into a PDF, visit ‘Tools’, then choose ‘Annotate’ and ‘Signature’, depending on the device you’re using, your camera might open and you can sign a piece of paper, hold it up and then insert the image into your PDF.

 

It works very well on certain models of Macs and Chromebooks as well as certain PCs.

 

It’s certainly easier than printing out and scanning back in.

 

If you’re interested in the use of Augmented Reality - you should know about Volograms.

 

This could be the next frontier in video - it turns almost any video into 3D and augmented reality. 

 

It’s already been used in Ireland for the ‘Inspiring Women’ project around STEM - the iOS app is available now and Android coming soon.
