Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft Corp, made a virtual appearance at the “World Congress on Information Technology 2008”, where he was reproduced on stage as a holographic simulation. The size of the projection was 4.6m and appeared in front of the audience of around 400 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Apparently, the holographic image was very realistic and the crowd was impressed with the results. Gates stated during his speech that, “There are one billion people (in the world) who have a personal computer each but there are five billion others who don’t. Microsoft also wants to reach these people.”
