In 2019, there is a new technology that could revolutionize the way communications are done over the internet. Founded by Janosch Amstutz, this new technology is, “a high-definition augmented reality platform that brings a perceived three-dimensional experience of human beings into your living room. This new platform is in its beta stages in the entertainment, fashion and education realms where one can virtually be present in a fashion show, a classroom or a sports game. HoloMe is not a video or a recording, but a live face to face interface, where one can see the person they are talking to and their surrounding. It is captured by any camera and is processed immediately so that it can be seen on the other end at the same time. As put by Amstutz, “Augmented reality humans are really more immersive and emotive than any other technology that’s been out there with regards to delivering a message, having a human in your own space, communicating with you directly is much more powerful as a medium.” HoloMe will be fully operational by the end of 2019, and will be raising money and involved in different partnerships in order for it to take off. One further benefit this could have is to be a resource for doctors to help patients in regions where it is unsafe to physically go and in places where there are a shortage of doctors. This new innovation could improve many different areas of communication where calling and skyping lack.
