Telstra breakthrough - hologram technology now possible on Next IP network

Posted By Mr.Gadget Published in Internet

Telstra’s Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Hugh Bradlow showcased the speed and bandwidth of Telstra’s Next IP broadband network by conducting a press conference in Adelaide, using hologram technology from his Melbourne office. His hologram gave an almost physical presence by interacting with the media - answering questions and even appearing to shake hands with Telstra’s Enterprise and Government MD, David Thodey.

No matter what technology they use, Dr.Hugh Bradlow will never be as pretty as Princess Leia…

“This is pure bullshit. Telstra was not demonstrating a video hologram, or even a static hologram. A quick check on numerous websites or in many books explains what a hologram really is and the most obvious attribute is that it appears to be a 3D object. Not a 2D image on a screen. In their defense, Telstra and the media are only parroting what the company that supplies this technology is saying.

What Telstra demonstrated was projecting a video onto a screen.”

Point taken.

So in other words, the picture of R2D2 and Princess Leia below is a better representation of a true hologram?

It’s academic. My TV is 2d. I didn’t see it in 3d. Why put on some boring guy in a suit though. It does have a resemblance to the image in the movie I, Robot. There would probably be less critics if it was a hologram of Angelina Jolie. We’d be nodding our heads saying yeah! yeah! Gimme gimme!

Haha!

Yeah to be honest it looks like a scene from an 80’s TV Show.

At least wear contemporary looking suits guys! Look at Bill Gates and Steve Jobs - don a skivvy or something…
