What Holoconnects does

Holoconnects is a Netherlands-based holographic technology company founded in 2020 that designs, manufactures, and sells life-size 3D holographic display systems for enterprise communication. Its core product family consists of the Holobox (an 86-inch transparent-LCD-based life-size display), the Holobox Mini (a 22-inch tabletop variant), and the Hologrid (a modular wall formed by linking multiple Holoboxes). All products share a proprietary transparent-LCD + custom-engineered light-box architecture that produces optical depth and parallax without glasses, operating as plug-and-play installations requiring only power and internet connectivity (10 Mbps minimum).

The company monetizes through three streams: (1) one-time hardware sales of Holobox, Holobox Mini, and Hologrid units produced in-house at its Culemborg facility (capacity stated at 20–30 units per month); (2) hardware rental for events and activations through direct sales and a global rental partner network; and (3) content production services, including live holographic transmission, on-location capture, and AI-driven Digital Twin creation from sparse source material (photos, archival footage, single interviews). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with sales driven by live demos at Culemborg HQ, remote holographic sessions, and a tiered partner channel (Reseller and Rental Partner programs).

Holoconnects serves enterprise and government customers across hospitality (e.g., CIC Hospitality/Aiden by Best Western in Scandinavia), telehealth (e.g., Crescent Regional Hospital in Texas), broadcasting (CANAL+), financial services (ING Belgium), government and diplomacy (UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs), events/retail (BMW i5 campaign), and intergovernmental organizations (UN OCHA, ITC ILO, UNICEF). AI capabilities are layered on the hardware, including proprietary Digital Twin generation and conversational AI avatars powered by integration with RAVATAR, deployed at hotel check-in desks and government service points. The company operates from Culemborg (HQ and manufacturing), with US sales offices in Houston and Miami, and a partner network spanning Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

Core offering

Holoconnects designs, manufactures, and sells life-size holographic display hardware — the Holobox (86-inch flagship), Holobox Mini (22-inch tabletop), and Hologrid (modular wall) — built on a proprietary transparent-LCD-and-light-box platform produced in-house in Culemborg, Netherlands. The company layers AI-driven capabilities (Digital Twins, conversational AI avatars) on top of the hardware and bundles in-house content production, live holographic transmission, and rental services. Primary buyers are enterprises and public-sector organisations in hospitality, healthcare, retail, events, education, broadcasting, and government.

Product overview

Holoconnects is a Netherlands-based holographic technology company offering a portfolio of hardware products and AI-powered software features centered on its transparent-LCD, light-box-based holographic display technology. The core hardware portfolio consists of three products: the Holobox (the flagship 86-inch life-size holographic display), the Holobox Mini (a compact 22-inch tabletop variant), and the Hologrid (a modular wall formed by synchronizing multiple Holobox units for large-scale installations). These products share the same underlying technology — a transparent LCD with a custom-engineered light box producing optical depth and 3D parallax visible without glasses — and operate as plug-and-play systems requiring only power and internet. AI-augmented features layer on top of the hardware: Digital Twins use generative AI to synthesize lifelike holograms of people from sparse source material (photos, archival footage), while AI Holograms (powered by the RAVATAR platform) provide autonomous conversational avatars that engage users in real-time dialogue rendered inside the Holobox. Content production and rental services support deployment across the hardware range. The company also offers sector-specific holographic solutions — notably in telehealth (life-size doctor-patient consultations) and hospitality (AI-powered holographic front desks).

Modular units pack down for transport and reassemble on site. Deployed at Paris Gare du Nord for Visit Britain and for the BMW i5 campaign across Belgian train stations.
• Content Production Services Holographic content capture and production service delivered from the Culemborg studio (or on location). The team records holographic content and converts it for the Holobox format, advising on what works for each goal. Covers people, logos, 3D animations, and product demonstrations from concept through final holographic output, with on-site support available during production. A dedicated studio in Geneva supports ITC-ILO live transmissions.
• Holographic Equipment Rental Rental of Holobox hardware for events, activations, retail campaigns, and pop-ups, distributed through a global network of regional rental partners. Terms cover single-event rentals through extended rentals with prorated daily rates. Transport, installation, and technical support during events are handled by Holoconnects or its certified partners. A 50% deposit is required before the rental period begins; remaining 50% within 14 days after invoice. Late returns charged at daily rate.
• Digital Twins (Generative-AI Hologram Service) Generative-AI service that reconstructs a person's voice, appearance, and gestures from sparse source material (photos, archival footage, a single TV interview) and renders the output live inside a Holobox as a lifelike Digital Twin. Used for corporate anniversaries, museum exhibits, brand storytelling, and resurrecting historical figures as holograms. Lead time is typically a few weeks from brief to live hologram. Deployed at ING Belgium (Baron Léon Lambert) and additional corporate keynotes.
• AI Hologram Avatar Solution AI-driven holographic avatar solution built on the RAVATAR AI Avatar Platform, engaging users in real-time natural conversation inside the Holobox. Processes voice input through built-in microphones, uses NLP to determine intent, and generates human-like responses rendered as a life-size hologram. Handles hotel check-in/check-out, reservations, government services navigation, and customer service queries autonomously. Falls back to a live human employee appearing as a hologram when the AI cannot answer. Deployed at Aiden by Best Western (Denmark, November 2024) and Capgemini's Abu Dhabi government services activation (January 2025).
