The devices are provided to them by Isaac, a member of the technologically-advanced robotic Kaylon race. The holograms appear to be more than just visual, as when Mercer and Malloy get stuck in a doorway, you can hear the sound of two leather outfits rubbing against one another, implying either some kind of HardLight or an auditory simulator.

It [[CurbStompBattle didn't hold up for long]] against the real deal, but it did confuse [[BigBad Megatron]] long enough for his new superweapon to blow up in his face.

*Ringo wears a holoprojector in the Tipaan arc of ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'' because he has to disguise himself as a G'heddi'onian, so he needs to lighten his skin and give himself a more appropriate face. (He also wears a voice changer.) Later in the same arc, Paul and John briefly wear cloaks that make them look like Svenjaya so they can travel into the Svenjaya tunnels without being stopped. It's explicitly noted that the cloaks make them look like existing Svenjaya who are laid up—the community is small enough to notice strangers among them—and their guide has to quickly explain to another tribesmember why a sick individual is suddenly walking around.

* The ''Literature/DrakeMaijstral'' series by Walter Jon Williams has a couple of examples:
** The darksuit used by allowed burglars when on the job is described as projecting a holographic "cloud of darkness". Very effective at night; not so much during the day.
** In ''Literature/TheCrownJewels'', the "Ronnie Romper" suits worn by Amalia Jensen's kidnappers are holographic. They make the two appear to be the same height, even though they're not, and move with their bodies, but don't allow for facial expressions--the fixed smile is mentioned as creeping people out.
