WeWork, however, envisions holograms for a variety of uses. Customers will be able to record or live stream three-dimensional videos for a virtual audience via videoconferencing, a physical audience at a WeWork, or a combination of both. The holograms are viewable on a ARHT Media “HoloPod,” an 8-foot-tall screen structure with a camera, microphone and projector, a a “HoloPresence,” a screen meant to be used on a stage or a computer or tablet.

Holograms give remote interaction a more natural feel than standard team video calls, where people talk at the same time by accident and participants can’t see body language cues, according to Hamid Hashemi, chief product and experience officer at WeWork.
