Holobox: Holoconnects vs HEREweHOLO

Holoconnects and HEREweHOLO both build a life-size holographic display called a Holobox: two Dutch makers, neither a reseller. They differ mainly in model range, deployments, integrations and what the price includes. Below is a factual comparison: the other maker’s figures as checked in September 2026, the page updated in October 2026.

The short answer

Choose the Holoconnects Holobox if you want the wider model range (five formats, from the 22-inch Mini to the Hologrid wall), named international deployments (CIC Hospitality, Crescent Regional Hospital, the UN's ITC-ILO, BMW), 4K two-way telepresence with AI and PMS integration, and the choice to buy, lease or rent with published starting prices per format. Look at HEREweHOLO if you want a Dutch maker with in-house production in The Hague, three product forms (Holobox, Holowall, Holomini) and a strong track record in events and campaigns. Request a quote from both and judge them on references in your sector.

This page is deliberately non-derogatory: HEREweHOLO is a legitimate Dutch maker with its own product. The goal is to help you choose on facts. For the technology behind the effect, see what a Holobox is.

Model range

Holoconnects. Five configurations: Holobox Mini (22"), The 43, The 75, the life-size 86" Holobox (2.06 m) and the modular Hologrid wall.

HEREweHOLO. Three products: a life-size Holobox, the modular Holowall (linked units) and the compact Holomini (source: hereweholo.nl, Sept 2026).

Trade-off: The mid-range formats (43" and 75") exist only at Holoconnects; for life-size only, a wall, or a mini, both offer an option.

Deployments (named examples)

Holoconnects. CIC Hospitality (rollout planned for 30 hotels), Aiden by Best Western, Crescent Regional Hospital (US first), the UN's ITC-ILO, BMW × Urban Media.

HEREweHOLO. Dutch campaigns and events, including a permanent Holobox at Brussels Airport and activations for brands such as KLM, ING and Audi.

Trade-off: Ask for references in your sector; named, scalable rollouts weigh heaviest in enterprise B2B, event references in activations.

Interaction & telepresence

Holoconnects. Touchscreen, interactive AI Hologram, 4K live two-way connection, and PMS integration (Mews) for autonomous check-in.

HEREweHOLO. Plug-and-play display with content production, AI avatars and digital twins, and live presenting over 5G.

Trade-off: For two-way telepresence and PMS integration the Holoconnects Holobox is a direct match; for event content both run their own studio approach.

Pricing

Holoconnects. Published starting prices for all five formats: Mini from €4,500, The 43 from €9,000, The 75 from €18,500, 86" from €25,000; Hologrid from €45,000. Buy, lease or rent.

HEREweHOLO. Also publishes starting prices since 2026: Holomini from €5,200, Holobox from €27,500, Holowall from €63,000 (three units), delivery and installation included. Rental is quoted per project.

Trade-off: Both publish purchase prices; compare per format and check what is included (delivery, installation, software, content).

Continuity & track record

Holoconnects. Building hologram displays since 2020, with named deployments live in production today (the CIC Hospitality rollout planned for 30 hotels, Crescent Regional Hospital, the UN's ITC-ILO, BMW, ING). Fully operating, restructured in 2026 from a hardware company into a full-service, AI-native company managed by Filigree Labs B.V., with the product line, roadmap and support continuing; latest release The IRIS edge appliance (Sept 2026).

HEREweHOLO. In-house production in The Hague; public track record in Dutch events and campaigns.

Trade-off: For a multi-site or mission-critical rollout, weigh production references and continuity; ask both for named deployments in your sector and support terms in writing.

Reach & languages

Holoconnects. International deployments and support (Dutch base, EU-wide and beyond, incl. the US).

HEREweHOLO. Production and studio in The Hague; focus on the Netherlands and Belgium, site in six languages.

Trade-off: Both are Dutch makers; weigh where you need rollout and support.

Are the Holoconnects Holobox and the HEREweHOLO Holobox the same product?

No. They are two different products from two different Dutch companies that both use the name Holobox for a life-size holographic display. Holoconnects builds a five-format range (22-inch Mini, The 43, The 75, the 86-inch Holobox and the modular Hologrid wall); HEREweHOLO (The Hague) builds a life-size Holobox, the modular Holowall and the compact Holomini.

Which Holobox is cheaper?

Both makers publish starting prices. Holoconnects lists all five formats online: the Holobox Mini from €4,500, The 43 from €9,000, The 75 from €18,500, the 86-inch Holobox from €25,000 and the Hologrid from €45,000, available to buy, lease or rent. HEREweHOLO lists the Holomini from €5,200, the Holobox from €27,500 and the Holowall from €63,000 for three units, with delivery and installation included; rental is quoted per project. Compare per format and check what each price includes.

Which one fits a hotel, hospital, or enterprise rollout?

For staffed-presence use cases the Holoconnects Holobox ships with a 4K live two-way connection, an interactive AI Hologram and PMS integration (Mews) for autonomous hotel check-in, with named international rollouts such as CIC Hospitality (rollout planned for 30 hotels) and Crescent Regional Hospital, the first US hospital offering holographic consultations. HEREweHOLO's strongest track record is Dutch events and campaigns, including a permanent Holobox at Brussels Airport. Ask both for references closest to your use case.

Is Holoconnects a reliable long-term supplier?

Yes. Holoconnects has been designing and building hologram displays since 2020, first deployed the technology with customers in 2022, and runs named deployments in production today, including CIC Hospitality (rollout planned for 30 hotels), Crescent Regional Hospital (the first US hospital with holographic consultations), the UN's ITC-ILO, BMW and ING. The company is fully operating and in 2026 restructured from a hardware company into a full-service, AI-native company, managed by Filigree Labs B.V., with the product line, roadmap and support continuing with the Holoconnects team; the latest release is The IRIS edge appliance (September 2026). If continuity matters for your rollout, ask for references in your sector and the current support arrangements in writing, from either supplier.
