CES 2024: Holoconnects' Holobox

ZDNET, 1/13/2024

The Holoconnects Holobox makes it possible to talk to someone via a hologram with near-zero latency. It's a "plug and play" system, so all you need to do is plug it in and connect it to the internet to get started. To be a hologram yourself, you need a white background that is well-lit, and then you can carry on like it is a regular video call. It is already available for consumer use, and we even saw Google use the Holobox to showcase its Android characters in fun and innovative ways at CES 2024. The price is not disclosed on the Holoconnects website, [which means most of us can't afford it] but interested customers can request a pricing list. It's very expensive and most people aren't going to want to put this phone booth sized box in their living room, but the idea of video calls of the future becoming holograms is super compelling. [emphasis added]
