Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for representing a transfer of a digital object using holographic images. User input is received that is indicative of a selection of the digital object for transfer from a sending device to a receiving device. Spatial attribute data is generated based at least in part on at least one of a distance or a relative orientation between the sending device and the receiving device, and a transition path is determined based at least in part on the spatial attribute data. Holographic image data is then generated based at least in part on the transition path, and the holographic image data is sent to one or more holographic projectors to cause a first holographic image representative of the digital object and a second holographic image representative of the transition path to be projected.
