TELSTRA this morning beamed a live hologram of a senior staff member between
Melbourne and Adelaide in what has been billed as an Australian first.
Telstra chief technology officer Dr Hugh Bradlow, based in Melbourne,
appeared at a business function in Adelaide as a real-time hologram and
interacted with members of the audience for around 15 minutes, the company
said.

"We've all seen this sort of thing in futuristic sci-fi movies, but the
reality is that it can be done here and now, as we have just demonstrated,"
said David Thodey of Telstra's enterprise and government department.

Despite the first static holograms being developed over 50 years ago,
dynamic or motion picture holograms are still a relatively new field of
development.

Holograms are created essentially using three lasers and a photosensitive
screen to capture the light waves and interference originating from an
object.

To a person in front of the screen, this creates an image in three
dimensions that appears in mid-air behind the screen.

These holograms are widely used in advertising, art and entertainment but
the drawback is that their displays are static.

Telstra said the real time hologram of Dr Bradlow was made possible by the
company's high-speed networks and the Musion Eyeliner holographic projection
system.

Of course it did, cos they were all tel$cum brownnosers, like Parky.

Check out the photo with that article - you can't tell which one's the
hologram and which one's the real person!

That's cos neither of them are real people, all tel$cum management are
holograms anyway.

Thanks to this amazing breakthrough, which has got nothing whatever to
do with tel$cum, tel$cum management won't even have to be in the
building to pretend to work any more. Nobody will notice the difference.

Why are you so emotional about a phone company?

If you could describe mild amusement as "emotional", i guess it's
because i'm a no-life sad loser like everyone else who posts to this ng.

I hope Telstra will be more transparent in other areas as well.
