Both show life-size holographic people, but they target different jobs. The Holoconnects Holobox is a self-contained unit for everyday enterprise presence: reception, telehealth, keynotes. Miirage is a modular hologram entertainment system that scales across a stage for events, brands and live-streamed performers. Here’s where each fits.
The short answer
Choose the Holobox for a permanent, walk-up presence point with a touchscreen and live two-way telepresence, for a receptionist, a remote doctor, a showroom host. Choose Miirage for a large event or brand spectacle: a band, a speaker or a celebrity streamed into a venue across one, three or five-plus modular units. Different jobs, overlapping vocabulary.
This page is non-disparaging: Miirage is a legitimate modular hologram system with real entertainment and brand deployments. The goal is to match the technology to your use case. For the underlying optics, see what a hologram is.
