The company will demo a new use case that enables hotel guests to engage and interact with an AI-powered holographic avatar. Reporters are invited to check out Holobox and Holobox Mini and experience an immersive holographic demo at the Holoconnects booth as part of the NL Tech Pavilion in Eureka Park at the Venetian Expo, Booth 62100, from January 7-10, 2025, where journalists can make a life-sized hologram of themselves.

For CES 2025, Holoconnects and the Dutch government have teamed up to provide exclusive hologram content featuring the 50 participating NL Tech Pavilion delegation companies. Two Holoboxes form a touchscreen-enabled Hologrid with an interactive map that will show content produced by Holoconnects together with the NL Tech Pavilion startups and scale-ups.

Holoconnects will also demo an interactive AI-powered holographic front desk avatar capable of checking guests in or out of a hotel room, facilitating a room upgrade request, generating a room key, booking restaurant or spa reservations, or answering questions, offering hotels a new way to ensure customer satisfaction and elevate the guest experience. The Holobox AI-powered avatar technology is currently in use by Aiden by Best Western hotel in Holeby, Denmark, in collaboration with hospitality management system Mews and RAVATAR. The AI-powered holographic avatar engages with guests through natural, human-like conversations.

Live Hologram Transmission that Creates Real Connection.

Holoconnects enables organizations to teleport a hologram of a spokesperson from an easily set up studio to one or several Holoboxes either as prerecorded content or for real-time video conferencing. The lifesize 3D holograms can appear in the full-sized Holobox, which features an 86” (7-foot) screen, or in the Holobox Mini, a 20” tall tabletop hologram device.

“People have the tools to reach each other more than ever due to the rise of the internet and social media. At the same time, authentic connections have diminished, and the technology created to bring us closer has left people more isolated,” said Holconnects’ CEO and co-founder, André Smith. “Our Holobox technology offers an opportunity to restore authentic human connections and allow people to learn, collaborate, and work together regardless of distance and location.”

According to a recent report from Research & Markets, the holographic display market is expected to grow exponentially in the coming year and reach $13 billion by 2032. Holograms have been called the future of enterprise and have applications in virtually every facet of business, including communications, marketing, employee education, customer relations, and more.

Crescent Regional Hospital in Lancaster, Texas uses Holobox’s Live Connection as part of its mission to become the “hospital of the future” — a facility where technology and human ingenuity combine to break down historical barriers to healthcare access. Crescent Regional Hospital patients can now schedule a non-touch hologram visit with their doctor or any range of medical specialists from the greater Dallas area or anywhere in the world.
