Holoconnects, a leading technology provider of AI-powered holographic solutions, showcased its lifelike, highly advanced hologram technology via the Holobox, the Modular Holobox, and the Holobox Mini at 2024 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which concluded in Las Vegas on Friday, January 12.
Holoconnects’ Holobox and Holobox Mini provide a 3D holographic visualization of a person, product, or logo, transforming communication by creating immersive and interactive experiences that deliver unparalleled engagement and impact. Available in black, white, or a custom design, the Holobox and Holobox Mini are ‘plug and play’ systems and are surprisingly user-friendly — both products require only electricity and the internet to bring holograms to any location.
Holoconnects’ holographic technology creates immersive experiences and has broad applications in industries including hospitality, travel, healthcare, retail, entertainment, communications, events, education, advertising, and more. Holoconnects’ lifelike holograms were recently used to:
- Educate and promote a UNICEF sustainability and climate solution initiative
- Raise awareness and support for the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) by creating “a visceral connection between global citizens and the individuals living in crisis zones“
- Serve as “virtual hosts” for D&B The Facility Group and live holographic receptionists for CIC Hospitality, a Scandinavian hotel chain.
“We thrive on pushing the boundaries of innovation, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary,” said André Smith, founder and CEO of Holoconnects. “We believe our technology will profoundly impact all industry sectors and contribute to a more sustainable, fossil-free world, as speakers can be live beamed to any Holobox location, reducing CO2 emissions caused by air travel. CES provides an excellent platform for us to connect with the world’s leading innovators and showcase the limitless possibilities of holograms.“

Content for the Holobox and Holobox Mini is recorded in one of Holoconnects’ studios with the help of a white screen, studio lights, and a video camera. Pre-recorded content can also be produced at a location of choice. Speakers can record their desired message quickly using the autocue function, and products — both 3D and physical — can be displayed, along with texts, QR codes and other textual additions of choice. Additionally, a 4K live connection enables brands to broadcast directly from a recording station to a local Holobox.
Already embraced by UNICEF, the United Nations, Nike, Vodafone, BMW, Deloitte, Best Western, T-Mobile and others, Holoconnects technology has broad applications across multiple industries, including sustainability, hospitality, travel, healthcare, retail, entertainment, communications, and education.
