The project

Anti-counterfeiting tool holographic authentication - H010 Ltd

A uniquely powerful anti-counterfeiting tool combining the visual intuitiveness and digital nature of QR codes with the secure optical properties of analogue holographic security.

H010 is a UK-based SME which seeks to finalise a hyper-secure holographic authentication system that uniquely combines the secure, optical properties of multiplexed holography with the visual intuitiveness and digital nature of QR codes. Project research prepares H010 for rapid commercialisation (~1yr post- project), with the long-term goal of positioning the UK as a market leading provider of anti-counterfeit technology.

H010 will build upon extensive work-to-date by enlisting key commercial partners, The Sunshine Company/Pendil Partnership/Maclean Foundation (stakeholder engagement/end-user testing),

and manufacturing partners OpSec/Iris Photonics to:

Finalise initial use-case development:

Developing a high-performing/reliable/at-scale hologram manufacturing process, supporting individualised holograms (unique, market-first approach)

Finalising the web-app by researching consumer analytics capabilities; uplifting white-label UI/UX offerings

Conducting final end-user testing/iterative feedback sessions; permitting final adjustments

Refining the commercial roadmap; exploring data handling/analytics regulatory requirements.

Conduct secondary use-case research:

Full holographic serialisation and rapid scanning capabilities (vastly widening commercial use cases; i.e., supply-chain management)
