(NEWARK, NJ) -- ARHT Media Inc. and the New Jersey Hall of Fame have created the world’s first permanent public hologram installation at Newark International Airport. Over the next five years, the public will be able to select from a collection of famous New Jerseyans - all inductees to the New Jersey Hall of Fame - and hear their thoughts on a variety of topics while appearing as life-like holograms.
“The installation of this public hologram display at Newark International Airport serves as a fitting continuation of the New Jersey Hall of Fame’s mission: inspiring state residents to become the next generation of New Jersey leaders,” says Jon F. Hanson, chairman of the NJHOF.
“The hologram interviews with our inductees will hopefully inspire people of all ages to chase their own dreams in life, no matter the circumstances or adversity they will need to overcome,” says Steve Edwards, president of the NJHOF.
The New Jersey Hall of Fame will update its impressive roster of inductees on a regular basis, making a visit to the ARHT Media Holographic Cube a must-see stop while at Newark International Network and developing this New Jersey Hall of Fame attraction into an evolving, engaging showcase of New Jersey’s deep pool of talent.
“Hearing Steven Van Zandt’s signature chuckle, while seeing him in life-sized 4K 3D holographic video, creates a unique sense of presence,” adds ARHT CEO Larry O’Reilly. “It feels as though he is actually there with you. The possibilities of this display technology are endless and we have tremendous interest in taking the ARHT Media Holographic Cube to many other public venues.”
The Foundation for New Jersey Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization honoring citizens who have made invaluable contributions to society, the State of New Jersey, and the world beyond. Since 2008, the NJHOF has hosted 10 ceremonies for over 140 notable individuals and groups in recognition of their induction into the Hall of Fame. The NJHOF endeavors to present schoolchildren with significant and impactful role models to show that they can – and should – strive for excellence. The New Jersey Hall of Fame Mobile Museum, designed by architect Michael Graves, has attracted over 300,000 visitors.
ARHT Media’s patented holographic telepresence technology is a complete end-to-end solution that creates a sense of presence for audiences – as though the holographic presenter was actually live in the room. With no noticeable latency, ARHT Media creates two-way live communication with a 3D holographic presenter anywhere in the world. We can also playback pre-recorded content and 3D animations on our displays to deliver rich holographic experiences.
