# Holographic Teleconferencing Systems This High-Tech System Creates Real-Time Holograms of People By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-05-01 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teleconferencing-system References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/telehuman-2-hologram/54400/) & [queensu](http://www.queensu.ca/gazette/media/news-release-move-over-tupac-life-size-holograms-set-revolutionize-videoconferencing) A group of engineers and scientists working out of [Queen's University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3D-printed-flow-batteries) in Canada have developed an innovative new teleconferencing system that is designed to make it possible for users to go about communicating with each other not via two-dimensional laptop screens, but fully three-dimensional holograms. Dubbed Telehuman 2, this system, which was devised by the same team that came up with the older TeleHuman telepod system, makes use of a number of cameras that are designed to capture users' dimensions and participants in 3D, with the obtained data then being transmitted to an [array of projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-holographic-projector), which then project the visual data onto a large cylinder-shaped screen. As the researchers point out, text-based and audio-based communication often lacks a personal touch and can result in messages being lost in translation, a problem which this [holographic teleconferencing system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conferencing-platforms) aims to tackle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Holographic Teleconferencing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop user-friendly holographic teleconferencing systems for seamless communication. - **3D Imaging:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore applications of 3D imaging technology beyond teleconferencing, such as medical imaging or virtual reality. - **Enhanced Communication:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new methods for enhancing communication through immersive and realistic experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Telecommunications:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate holographic technology into telecommunication systems to revolutionize remote communication. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Use holographic teleconferencing technology to enhance live entertainment experiences and performances. - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply holographic teleconferencing to healthcare for remote consultations and collaborative surgeries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meeting-Enhanced 3D Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holobox.md) - [Holographic Hybrid Meeting Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/webex-hologram.md) - [Futuristic Video Conferencing Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-starline-1.md) - [Advanced Video Call Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-4.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solidlight.md) - [Real-Time Hologram Applications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holoport.md) - [HDMI-Supported Holographic Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypervsn-smartv.md) - [Innovative Aerohaptic System](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerohaptic.md) - [Sleek Holographic Communication Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-communication-device.md)
