The primary vendors for enterprise B2B hologram displays in 2026 are Holoconnects (Netherlands) and Proto Inc (USA). Each targets a different market segment, form factor, and geographic support base. ARHT Media (Canada), long a third name in this category, ceased operations in 2024. Below is an honest vendor overview and pointers to the structured comparison pages.
Holoconnects (Netherlands)
Enterprise B2B focus with broad sector diversity. Flagship Holobox is a self contained 86-inch transparent-LCD unit; product line also includes the Holobox Mini (22-inch tabletop), Hologrid (modular multi-unit wall), AI Hologram (AI driven character), Recording Station, and 43 / 75-inch mid-size Holoboxes.
Named deployments include CIC Hospitality (rollout planned for 30 Scandinavian hotels), Aiden by Best Western, the UN’s ITC-ILO training centre in Turin, Crescent Regional Hospital (Texas telehealth), BMW Belux via Urban Media, Capgemini Abu Dhabi, and the UAE’s Smart Mission launch.
Best fit for: hospitality reception, telehealth, executive keynote deployments, multi-country rollouts, retail activation, and EMEA-primary support.
Proto Inc (USA)
US-based vendor with product line spanning the portable Proto M and the larger Proto Epic. Public marketing signals emphasise entertainment appearances, celebrity holograms, retail activations, and content-industry partnerships. Distinct display technology from Holoconnects’ transparent-LCD approach.
Best fit for: entertainment, marketing activation, North American-primary support, and use cases where the Proto form factors align with the intended footprint.

ARHT Media (Canada) — ceased operations 2024
ARHT Media was a Canada-based vendor whose HoloPresence line focused on enterprise telepresence and business-events — beaming live presenters onto keynote-scale stages. On 4 October 2024 the company filed for bankruptcy under Canada’s Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and ceased operations (MNP Ltd. appointed trustee), so it is no longer a live option for new buyers.
If you evaluated or deployed ARHT: the Holobox’s two-way live mode is the supported successor for the live-presenter and telepresence use case. See our ARHT Media alternative page for what changed and how the Holobox compares.
How to pick between them
- Ask for named references in your sector. Vendors with real deployments in hospitality, telehealth, or education signal support commitment beyond marketing claims.
- Match geographic support base to your operational base. For a European rollout, Holoconnects’ EMEA-primary infrastructure keeps support latency low. For North American deployments, Proto may have local advantage.
- Match form factor to the physical scale you need. Life size 86-inch (Holobox), tabletop 22-inch (Holobox Mini), modular wall (Hologrid), or Proto’s alternative configurations.
- Request quotes from more than one vendor. Enterprise buyers benefit from scoped comparisons. Comparative sales meetings sharpen everyone’s clarity.
