A holographic display device for presenting a hologram-like image and a method of use are disclosed. The holographic display device includes a box-like structure, a translucent panel, and light panels extending the entire length of the box-like structure. The light panels position between the box-like structure and the translucent panel. The holographic display device includes a transparent monitor connecting the box-like structure at its front end. The transparent monitor receives and displays an image. The light panels illuminate light and the translucent panel diffuses, blends, and evenly distributes the light in the interior. Transmitted shadowing to the monitor provides a realistic appearance. A unique image capturing system for capturing the image to be displayed on the transparent monitor is also disclosed. The image capturing system transmits the image to the holographic display device in real-time or as a pre-recorded image using wired or wireless protocols.
