Holographic technologies are already available and could be widely adopted at conferences in the coming years. They could save organizers and speakers money, time, and carbon emissions. However, holographic technologies themselves are expensive: the PORTL device costs up to $60,000.



a stir when he attended the ALHI Executive Exchange event in Southern California using a hologram. The device, created by a company called PORTL, demonstrated just how far the technology has come.

Gardner’s image was broadcast in life-size, with high-definition, real-time playback and crystal-clear audio. It seemed as if he was actually present in the room. And although he was actually relatively close, in canada number data theory the speaker could “travel” from any location to one or more conferences simultaneously, anywhere in the world.



“Now I can get anywhere, bypassing all the inconveniences associated with flights - I can simply move. If I want, I can even be in a dozen cities at once, interacting with the crowd in each of them, ”- Chris Gardner, author of the book “Permission to Dream” (Permission to Dream).

Why holographic technology could be revolutionary
The COVID-19 pandemic has created numerous obstacles for business conferences and events. Some have been postponed due to keynote speakers or important guests canceling their appearances because they are sick. However, the virus can be contracted anywhere during a conference trip. Business economies around the world have been disrupted.

Hologram technology will help eliminate this issue by allowing speakers to attend events from the comfort of their own homes. Not only is this good for the environment, it can also reduce travel time and, in the long run, provide a significant return on the initial investment.

This ensures that the event runs smoothly and that the speakers are presented in a much more engaging way than with a Zoom call.

In addition, it will be easier to attract the participation of well-known speakers who do not want to travel far.

Holographic technologies are based on the use of cameras that capture the speaker from multiple angles to create a 3D effect. Graphs, charts, and other presentation elements can be reproduced in 3D for both the speaker and the audience.
