Forget video calls: Here’s what it’s like to meet in holographic AR

At its WebexOne customer conference, it’ll describe a new service called Webex Hologram, which enables virtual meetings in augmented reality—with the participants represented as photorealistic holograms instead of cartoon-like avatars.

...the service, which runs on headsets including Microsoft’s HoloLens and Magic Leap’s Magic Leap 1.

Cisco’s experience also includes the ability to walk around a 3D object, point to it, discuss it, and, perhaps, practice repairing it. ...

Patel says Cisco is in “very early development” with its holograms. A half dozen of Cisco’s Webex customers are now trying out the Hologram meetings. The company will soon expand its beta program to 50 partners, and later expand it to 250 customers before bringing Webex Hologram to general availability.
