Holographic Telepresence from Musion

Communication technology progresses in leaps and bounds. Printing, radio, the telephone, television, the internet and now – holograms.

Holograms have broken out of the world of science fiction and fantasy and are about to become common currency between London and New York, Sydney and Mumbai, Shanghai and Moscow. Live and life-size 3D TelePresence holograms can now interact with their remote audiences, whether they are a band performing on stage, a politician delivering a keynote speech, or a CEO holding an interactive meeting with colleagues around the world.

Until now the general understanding of TelePresence has been hazy. Many people assumed it comprised merely a very refined high definition screen technology. Others pictured holograms of heads and shoulders with very little movement. For standard TelePresence, both assumptions are largely true.

There is, however, another kind of TelePresence. Musion’s Eyeliner technology has developed life-size holographic figures with full motion and with no latency between sound and image. Using a high-speed (20mbites/sec) MPLS Internet connection it is, quite simply, transforming the future of communication.

So, if you want to make a major speech, you can stride the stage, not just sit at a desk. If you want to use 3D motion video images, they appear seamlessly beside you, not on a separate monitor. You can communicate in real time – no time lapses – with both on-stage colleagues and audiences. Eyeliner is a system that is fully bi-directional and interactive, you can see them just as clearly as they can see you. Just about the only thing you can’t do is shake their hands – or at least, only virtually.

All of this is possible only with Musion Eyeliner® foil technology. But its uses go far beyond the boardroom or the political stage. Entertainment, education, design and engineering collaboration, product launches – the list goes on.
