History Main / HolographicDisguise

* ''Anime/WolfsRain'': The wolves use psychic illusions to pose as humans.

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Sidekick}}'' episode "The Maxum Switch-eroo" features several examples thanks to the Man-Of-A-Thousand-Faces' device: [[GenderBender Trevor becomes Vana]] ([[{{Bookends}} twice]]), Eric disguises himself as Maxum Mom to [[SpottingTheThread catch the Maxum Man imposter]], and Eric, Vana, Kitty, and Mayor Swift all [[CloningBlues turn into Trevor at the end]] after Vana [[NiceJobBreakingItHero destroys the device in a fit of rage]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'', one of the devices Krang has aboard the Technodrome is a Holographic Cloaker which can create a holographic illusion over whoever steps into it for up to two hours. It's been used on Bebop and Rocksteady a couple of times: once when they infiltrated Channel Six as their pre-mutated selves, and again when Bebop impersonated a missing Leonardo. In the season seven finale "Shredder Triumphant", Donatello [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard ends up using it against the villains]] when he disguises Michaelangelo as Krang so he can order Krang's army throughout the city to return to the Technodrome.

** The Imperial Sudden Transport can disguise itself as any vehicle. While the disguise is technically flawless, sometimes the chosen disguise is the problem- no player is going to ignore the MightyGlacier Apocalypse tank somehow zipping along at breakneck speed, or the Harbinger gunship on the ground, or the battleship moving on land. It also has to turn off the disguise to let troops out.
** The Mirage tank uses a holographic projector to disguise itself as a random prop (tree, civilian car, etc.). It can also turn off its own camouflage to cloak nearby allies, but this also causes a honking big visible cloud to surround it.

** Subverted by Spies. While the interface effect ''looks'' like a hologram (to let the player know what unit the spy is currently disguised as), an in-game interview has a spy claim that it's mostly acting like what the other person expects to see, which explains why animals see right through it. Again, nothing prevents the spy from having a perfectly inappropriate disguise like a swimming infantry unit (only commandoes, spies and ninja can swim) or a dolphin swimming on land.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Nightcrawler has an 'image inducer' to make him look human instead of demonic. Beast occasionally uses one as well, but mostly he ''likes'' the attention a bright blue furry humanoid gets.
