Holoconnects

Holoconnects is a Dutch hologram technology company that designs and builds life-size holographic display systems, best known for its Holobox product line. The company describes itself as Europe's leading hologram company for interactive, life-size displays, and its systems are used worldwide in hospitality, healthcare, retail, education and live events. Its flagship Holobox is an 86-inch transparent LCD screen that renders life-size 3D holographic images, with anti-glare glass for high-resolution brightness in daylight or low-light conditions and a touch-screen offering 20-point IR control or an optional hand-held remote. A smaller variant, the Holobox Mini, is offered for more compact immersive experiences. Holoconnects has been designing and building hologram displays since 2020 and is managed by Filigree Labs B.V. The company's origin story begins with founders Andre and Marnix, who initially explored recording video messages for bereaved family members after personal experiences with deceased loved ones — a concept that gained attention through Dutch television programs. Working remotely between Curacao and the Netherlands, the two combined their strengths, and when Covid-19 emerged they fully invested in product development, planting the seed for the Holobox. The company has continued to iterate on the product, generating new applications over time. Holoconnects positions itself as a market leader in Europe with a strong presence in the US and numerous distributors worldwide, and it operates what it describes as the largest in-house production facility in its field. Its offering spans hardware (Holobox, Holobox Mini, HoloWall), content production through its recording station — including 4K live connections and pre-recorded holographic video — and AI-driven Digital Twins that reconstruct a person's voice, mannerisms and visual likeness from source material. The company markets these capabilities for live performances, hospitality digital hosts, education, telehealth, keynote speaking and brand storytelling. The brand's credibility is reinforced by a roster of deployments it publicizes, including FAO United Nations World Food Forum, ILO United Nations Training Centre (ITC), BMW holographic wall at Belgian stations, ING Digital Twin in Brussels, Best Western hologram check-in at Aiden, CANAL+ Champions League studio, Capgemini AI hologram in Abu Dhabi, Crescent Regional Hospital's first US hologram doctor, Visit Britain HoloWall at Paris Gare du Nord, and a UAE Government Smart Mission launch. These case studies illustrate Holoconnects' strategy of targeting high-profile enterprise, government and healthcare customers to demonstrate that AI-assisted holography is deployable for live, high-profile events rather than remaining a research demo.

Holoconnects is a Dutch company that develops life-size holographic display systems, and it has been designing and building hologram displays since 2020. The company is managed by Filigree Labs B.V. and is best known for the Holobox, a life-size holographic display used for communication in hospitality, telehealth, retail and educational settings. The origin of the company predates the Holobox as it is now known. Founders Andre and Marnix, driven by personal experiences with deceased loved ones, initially conceived of recording video messages for bereaved family members so that grieving individuals could still be 'in touch' with their departed loved ones. This concept gained attention through various programs, including the Dutch show 'Over mijn lijk' ('Over My Dead Body'). Although the project was described as tremendously beautiful, it became evident in hindsight that there was more potential in the underlying technology. The first seed for the Holobox was planted against this background. Andre lived on Curacao and Marnix lived in the Netherlands, but they worked together through remote conferencing, which allowed them to combine their strengths. When Covid-19 emerged, they saw a great opportunity and fully invested in product development. Since then, the company has continued to regularly assess where the product or service can be improved, a process that has led to the continual generation of new applications for Holoboxes, including in areas such as sustainability. A deliberate decision was made to produce and control everything in-house, and the company now describes itself as operating the largest in-house production facility in its field. Holoconnects has expanded its offering beyond the original Holobox to include the smaller Holobox Mini, the HoloWall, a recording station for 4K live connections and pre-recorded holographic content, and AI-powered Digital Twins that reconstruct a person's voice, mannerisms and visual likeness from source material. The company positions itself as Europe's leading hologram company for interactive, life-size displays, with a market-leading position in Europe, a strong presence in the US, and numerous distributors worldwide. Its holograms have been deployed by organizations including UN bodies, global brands, hospitals and governments, with publicized case studies spanning the FAO World Food Forum, ILO Training Centre, BMW, ING, Best Western, CANAL+, Capgemini, Crescent Regional Hospital, Visit Britain and the UAE Government.
