Economie Matin, France: Cognizant’s Chief Technology Officer Says the Convergence of Several Technology Constructs is Making Intelligent Holograms Tick

“The rapid advancement of holograms can change our world totally and we are already seeing it happening around us,” says Aan Chauhan. “Many use cases are already emerging that are bringing out the utility and allure that can be applied to the world for real benefits — increasing audience reach, reducing design costs or helping disaster planning with 3D infrastructure imaging.” Excerpts:

“Companies will be able to create new experiences tapping into a multitude of data sources, private, public, or purchased. For instance, an infrastructure planning company can tap into CAD images and live images of infrastructure, weather data from satellite monitoring stations, and create holograms that will help both people and agencies visualize the effects of different types of inclement weather.

The holographic receptionist at an office will be able to recognize a customer and tap into their code halo to understand their preferences and automatically provide the customer with a tailored service or solution.

Imagine a future where humans and holograms can live side by side! The mixed reality headsets for holographic consumption are maturing quickly, making hologram viewing portable. Capturing 3-D information on special cameras that recognize depth perception is helping the initial capture of subjects.

Sensors around us are capturing the demographic and environmental data around us. And Al algorithms are helping both in understanding the environmental/intent characteristics while deconstructing the captured imagery at source and reconstructing them as holograms at destination.

Once the availability of hyperscale processing power and large bandwidth is added, this convergence will make holograms an everyday reality.”
