Telstra chief technology officer Dr. Hugh Bradlow made a ‘holographic’ impression on his audience today. His life-sized, real-time hologram was able to walk, talk, and interact with executives at the Adelaide conference. He was located at Telstra’s Melbourne office during this projection event. This technology, which was created by British company Musion Eyeliner, already allowed Al Gore to speak at the Live Earth concert London audience from Tokyo. According to Bradlow, “If you’re in the US and can’t attend a conference you could save many hours flying time in that sense to give presentations,” he said.

Last week, Bill Gates gave a similar presentation at the “World Congress on Information Technology 2008.”
