From 2 comments
These are reflection holograms. Also sometimes called white-light holograms because they can be viewed with a regular spot light, sunlight, or even a smartphone flashlight.

Objections
Hogel size of 1 mm looks coarse

BeniBoy on HNOK, so it's not a true hologram -- you cannot rotate it in multiple different ways to see what's on the other side, how does it look from the bottom, etc. It's a sequence of…

DivisionSol on HNI wonder if it’s possible to impress unrelated images on the hologram as opposed to a consistent view of a 3d object. Also, is it possible to print a large hologram lets say a…
