Google is working on a technology called Project Starline. Apple's new Vision Pro turns you in to a Digital Persona so you can FaceTime even while wearing a headset."When a hologram appears, people sit up in their seats a little bit," said O'Reilly.Their technology consists of two parts: a basic studio, then a person-sized box with an LCD screen.The two elements can be thousands of miles apart and you can still present and interact live.I tried recording myself in the studio, then watching the playback in the holographic box.
