In an experience-driven world, audiences crave something more than flat screens and Zoom fatigue. Enter Holobox, a futuristic 3D holographic display system that makes virtual appearances feel physically present, whether they’re live or pre-recorded.
But which content format is better live or pre-recorded? The answer depends on your goals.
In this guide, we explore the benefits of each option, real-world use cases and how to choose the right approach for delivering compelling, high-impact holographic content through Holobox.
Live Holographic Content: Real-Time Connection, Real Impact
Holobox enables real-time live streaming, projecting remote speakers or performers as full-size 3D holograms on stage or anywhere the unit is installed.
Best for:
- Keynote addresses at conferences
- Product launches that require dynamic Q&A
- Hybrid events where someone can’t attend in person
- Live training sessions that benefit from spontaneity
How it Works:
The live stream feed is captured with a high-quality camera setup and sent to the Holobox, where it is displayed with stunning realism on its 86” transparent LCD. There’s no need for VR headsets or AR apps, it’s a natural, glasses-free experience for the viewer.
Why Go Live?
- Authenticity: Viewers feel they’re interacting in real time.
- Engagement: Great for events where interaction matters.
- Presence: Ideal for leaders, influencers or educators who want to make a bold remote appearance.
Pre-Recorded Holographic Content: Precision, Control and Scalability
For moments where you want consistent messaging, high production quality or repeatability, pre-recorded holograms are ideal.
Best for:
- Retail displays or shopping mall installations
- Museum and educational exhibits
- Hospitality greetings or concierge services
- Multilingual messaging across global locations
What Makes Pre-Recorded Powerful:
- Quality Control: Perfect lighting, scripting and timing.
- Scalability: Play the same hologram across multiple Holobox units in different places.
- No Stress: Once recorded, your content runs on loop or at scheduled times.
Pro Tip:
To get the best results, content should be recorded in a controlled studio environment with proper lighting, neutral backgrounds and minimal movement. This ensures clarity and realism when displayed.
So, Which One Should You Choose?
| Goal | Recommended Format |
|---|---|
| Live interaction | ✅ Live |
| Message consistency | ✅ Pre-recorded |
| Remote keynote | ✅ Live |
| Retail or exhibition loop | ✅ Pre-recorded |
| Training session | ✅ Live or Pre-recorded |
| Long-term install | ✅ Pre-recorded |
Ultimately, many organizations find success using both live for key appearances and pre-recorded for persistent messaging.
