When the alien Glorious Leader, Evil Overlord and Mad Scientist want the world to know about their nefarious doings, they will usually take control of every TV (and sometimes even computer screen) to give their Motive Rant and/or New Era Speech. However, if they have access to powerful Hologram projectors they may also/instead project themselves over every city as a Huge Holographic Head. Needless to say it also includes a hidden sound system powerful enough most rock bands would kill for (and metal bands would sacrifice fans onstage for) in order to let everyone hear them. For some reason, subtitles under a big floating holographic head just aren't as impressive as a big booming voice. If they don't have the tech to do this, they may substitute it by using huge screens on dirigibles or buildings, which is a favorite for dictators. See also Hologram Projection Imperfection. |

A non-villainous example in The Pendragon Adventure. When Bobby first steps onto Veelox, he's greeted by pitch blackness and Aja Killian's giant, floating, holographic head. He eventually starts wondering whether the hologram reflects the physical reality in any way. Considering what he's been through, you can't really blame him. | |

Cowboy Bebop (2021). In "Sad Clown A-Go-Go", Super-Soldier Mad Pierrot LaFou hacks into Ein as an Animal Eye Spy to find out who the BeBop crew are. Meanwhile our heroes are puzzled as to why Ein suddenly has Glowing Eyes, then scream as the eyes project a holographic image of LaFou into their midst. Faye Valentine is more freaked out by the eye-projecting thing than the bloodcurdling death threats that follow. | |

Zachary Hale Comstock first appears in Bioshock Infinite on a projector screen mounted to a zeppelin, with a deep echo to accompany his voice. In the particular scene, the soldiers who were initially about to shoot Booker DeWitt are asked to stand down by Comstock. Then they start praying to him and the Founding Fathers. Daisy Fitzroy makes a similar scene later in the game, while having hijacked the First Lady Zeppelin to rally the Vox Populi deeper into Finkton. | |

The tours of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds gives Sir Richard Burton this treatment. It went through two variations: the first, from the 2006 tour, was a large, papier-mache "head" over which the hologram was projected. The second, from the 2010 tour, was a full-on CGI recreation of the actor. | |

In the Mass Effect 2 Kasumi DLC, Donovan Hock addresses the player using one of these that fills half the (rather large) room. And the acting is at least as over-the-top as the presentation. At the end of the Arrival DLC, Harbinger himself pops up as one of these to vent his annoyance at Shepard for delaying the Reapers yet again, along with the usual "we cannot be stopped" monologue. |

In The Thrawn Trilogy, Thrawn quietly lampshades this after C'baoth contacts him using "the Emperor's private hologram setting." Pelleon himself notices one of the flaws in the technique, namely that C'boath doesn't have the immaculate self control and confidence needed to pull this off, so the giant head setting means that little signs of uncertainty, surprise, and/or hesitations are amplified for everyone watching to see. | |

In a Starman issue, when the heroes are diverted to Krypton's past, Jor-El's father Seyg-El has the annoying habit of only speaking through these. |

Gehn proudly uses this trope in Riven to convince the people of the titular Age that he is their God. Among other contraptions, he uses a cleverly hidden chair to project his entire head in a huge holographic imager within a temple dedicated to him. A smaller example does this with a creepy twist in the original Myst. Achenar installed a holographic projector within an altar that eats its sacrifices, to intimidate and eventually slaughter the Tree Dwellers. |

Londo Mollari from Babylon 5 used such a system to speak to his subjects And Sheridan borrowed Draal's system to do the same thing on B5 to announce they were seceding from the Earth Alliance. Considering the TRON example above, one wonders if JMS wasn't indulging in a little Actor Allusion. |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Nth Degree," an alien race called the Cytherians greets the Enterprise crew via a huge, presumably-holographic head manifesting on the bridge. Unusually for this trope, the Cytherians are benevolent. | |
