A Holobox is a life-size holographic display built by Holoconnects: a transparent LCD in front of a custom-engineered light box that shows a person, product, or AI character in 3D to the naked eye, with no headset, no glasses and no app. Several people see the effect at once, from multiple angles, in normal light. It is the flagship product of Holoconnects. Below: how it works, how it differs from other "hologram" gadgets, the range, and what it costs.

What a Holobox is
The word "holobox" is often used loosely for any hologram-in-a-box gadget. The Holobox by Holoconnects is a specific, business-grade product: a roughly two-metre transparent display that renders a life-size subject with genuine optical depth. Because you view it with the naked eye, it works where you cannot ask everyone to put on a headset: a hotel reception, a shop floor, a stage, a clinic. For the underlying optics, see what a hologram is.
How a Holobox works
A transparent LCD sits in front of a custom light box. Content plays on the screen while the box supplies the depth and luminance that make the subject look solid, with no projection onto smoke or glass, so it holds up in normal indoor light, including daylight. A Holobox runs three kinds of content: pre-recorded clips, a 4K live two-way connection (a real presenter appears from anywhere), or an interactive AI Hologram. It is plug-and-play: power and an internet connection, set up in under an hour.
Holobox vs. AR headsets, projection and hologram fans
- AR/VR headsets are worn and show the effect only to the wearer. A Holobox is seen by everyone in front of it, no device required.
- Projection & Pepper's-ghost setups need darkness, a rig, and often smoke or angled glass. A Holobox is a self-contained unit that works in ordinary lighting.
- LED "hologram fans" spin blades to draw a low-resolution image with a narrow viewing angle. A Holobox shows full-resolution, life-size content with a wide viewing angle and interactivity.
The Holobox range
- The 22: 22-inch, tabletop, from €4,500.
- The 43: 43-inch, for counters and offices, from €9,000.
- The 75: 75-inch, mid-large presence, from €18,500.
- The 86: 86-inch, life-size (2.06 m), from €25,000.
- Hologrid: a two-part holographic wall, from €45,000.
What a Holobox is used for
- Hospitality & travel: holographic reception and check-in.
- Telehealth: life-size remote consultations.
- Retail: holographic product reveals and in-store activations.
- Events: speakers and presenters on any stage, without travel.
