Holotable

"Holotable... On Holotable Activate"

- Grant Ward

The Holotable is a device in the shape of a table used to create holographic models that allow the study, analysis and reconstruction of a vast array of items, weapons and events.

Use
The Holotable is one of the main devices in the forensics and research laboratory situated in The Bus. It creates holographic models that can be quickly deconstructed and analyzed, although according to one of its main users, Agent Leo Fitz, it is necessary to attend two semesters of holographic engineering minimum before succesfully working with the Holotable.

It is mainly used on items that cannot be studied otherwise, either because they are unknown, destroyed or deemed to dangerous to manipulate.

The data is usually input through a port were the item or the instrument that was used to retrieve analyze it can be placed. The Holotable also has a function to print 3D models of the holograms.

History
During Coulson's Team first mission, data retrieved from the surveillance cameras found at a Centipede laboratory were too big to be modeled over the table, so the simulation is visualized in the cargo area at the rear of the plane. It allowed to succesfully see a reconstruction of the events.

When an 0-8-4 was found in Peru, Agent Leo Fitz quickly determined that the weapon was too dangerous to be analyzed, so its internal operation is analyzed through the models.

Data can be remotely send to the Holotable, as demonstrated when Agent Jemma Simmons sent data obtained with a Three Dimensional Scanner in Trillemarka National Park, that allowed to create a model of one part of the Berserker Staff.

The data obtained from StatiCorp's Particle Accelerator allowed Agent Simmons to reconstruct the explosion of the accelerator, showing an alien landscape on the holographic model, and concluding that the StatiCorp facility was trying to create a portal to other dimension, just before Tobias Ford destroyed the Holotable.

The table was soon replaced, and was used again by agents Grant Ward and Phil Coulson to unsuccesfully analyze the Dendrotoxin Grenade they were attacked with, until both decided to give up and upload the specs to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ.
