What does HEREweHOLO offer for entertainment use?

HEREweHOLO supplies holographic displays and content for festivals, theatres, museums and attractions, bringing artists, characters and effects to life as life-size holograms. Offerings include holographic performances and characters, live hologram appearances of a real speaker or artist, and interactive activations, built around the Holobox, Holowall and Holomini displays with content production handled in-house.

Why does a hologram work well for entertainment audiences?

A hologram works in entertainment because it is often the first time an audience sees a life-size, floating image without glasses, so a performer, host or character appears to move freely in space rather than on a screen. HEREweHOLO's displays use an in-house light box to create depth, producing an effect the company describes as an apparition rather than a screen image, aimed at generating a moment visitors talk about afterwards.

What entertainment projects has HEREweHOLO delivered?

• At Group Bruno's 35th anniversary gala, three holograms welcomed 1,300 guests as the opening of the event.
• Minister Kuipers appeared live as a life-size hologram on stage at the Nictiz Festival Digitale Toegang, part of HEREweHOLO's live hologram presentation work.
• HEREweHOLO states its hologram work has appeared on national television, including the NOS news.

Which HEREweHOLO products are used for entertainment shows?

• Holobox: a life-size 3D holographic display used as an apparition on stage or in a foyer, available for sale, rent or lease and able to be moved between shows.
• Holowall: a modular hologram wall that connects multiple Holobox units into a wider display, suited to larger productions where an act or set needs to appear across a bigger surface.
• Holomini: a compact, portable hologram display suited to intimate moments or props at table or counter height.

What does a venue need to install a Holobox for a show?

A venue needs only a standard power socket and a stable internet connection to run a Holobox; installation typically takes about one hour. HEREweHOLO handles delivery, installation and loading of the show content, and for live performances coordinates the timing of the reveal and surrounding lighting with the show's producer, so no in-house technical or AV knowledge is required from the venue.

Frequently asked questions

Can an artist perform live as a hologram at an entertainment event?

Yes. Over a low-latency live link, an artist or speaker performs in real time as a hologram, including audience interaction. Pre-recorded holographic shows are also possible through the same Holobox, Holowall or Holomini displays.

Does a HEREweHOLO hologram work in a dark show environment, such as a theatre or festival stage?

Yes, a dark environment is where the image looks its best. The Holobox's own in-house light box delivers a bright, deep image regardless of ambient lighting, while the surrounding stage or venue lighting sets the mood around it.

Is a Holobox quick to set up and remove between entertainment shows?

Yes. A single Holobox unit is operational within about an hour and can be struck just as quickly afterwards, which HEREweHOLO notes makes a difference for touring productions moving between venues.

Can the audience interact with a HEREweHOLO hologram during an entertainment activation?

Yes. Using the Holobox's touchscreen, webcam and depth camera, the hologram can respond to visitors standing in front of it, ranging from a character waving back to a game-like activation.
