Holoconnects and HumanBeam both put an AI human where people walk up and talk to it. Both let a real person step in. Holoconnects also builds the display itself, from a counter model to life size. Below, each side in its own words.
Side by side
| Point | Holoconnects | HumanBeam (from humanbeam.io) |
|---|---|---|
| How it describes itself | Hologram displays and AI humans, full service, since 2020 | “HumanBeam AI + Hololuminescent™ Display (HLD)”, “3D Digital Humans for Sales, Reception & Support” |
| The display | Its own Holobox range: The 22, The 43, The 75 and The 86 (about two metres) | A “Hololuminescent™ Display” bundle |

How to decide
- Start from the place: front desk, lobby, clinic, stand.
- Decide how tall the presence should be, from a counter to life size.
- List the languages and whether a person must be able to step in.
- Ask both for a demo against those points.
