Musion Holographic TelePresence featured on CNN Business Traveller Channel

Don't miss Musion on CNN Business Traveller through the month of February 2009.



Virtual reality: Corporate travel budgets have been cut back. If senior executives are downgrading, middle management and lower aren't travelling at all and are video conferencing instead.

There have already been incredible technological advances in video conferencing through tools such as telepresence that brings breathtakingly-real images of people into rooms via plasma screens.

Musion has now developed an even better solution: holographic conferencing. Richard Quest interviews Ian O'Connell about the new system and how it will offer solutions to business travellers.

Musion's Hologram featured on BBC Click

Musion Eyeliner Holographic Projection technology updates a 120-year-old magicians' illusion called Pepper's Ghost which wowed Victorian audiences. It showed ghostly apparitions on stage which were made from the clever use of mirrors and light to project an image seemingly into thin air.

This concept has been updated by 21st Century high definition (HD) projectors and cameras, allowing company bosses and entertainers to deliver live 3D-looking speeches.

Ian O'Connell from Musion Systems said the technology developed thanks to HD video was becoming more popular and accessible.

"The brightness of HD projectors today gives you something that's far removed from the original ghostly effects. It creates something more akin to a virtual image, some people perceive it as a hologram, but in actual fact it is more accurately known as a virtual image," he said.

Musion TelePresence Launch - The On-Stage Live Experience

On Wednesday 12th November 2008, Musion’s very own Telepresence system orchestrated a show stopping Star Wars style holographic communication in real time between London and Berlin for the BlachReportDialog, a German live communications conference.


Ian O’Connell, Director of Musion Systems appeared as a life-size holographic projection transmitted from a studio in London to a live audience in Berlin. The reaction from the audience was over whelming, after the presentation leaders of the German communication industry swarmed the stage to get a closer look at the technology. RTL, Germany’s leading commercial television station, got so excited at the afternoon rehearsal, they sent a journalist and crew to London and filmed their own show simultaneously in London and Berlin.

This exciting demonstration was created with the help of Masergy, who provided a communications network with exceptional video transport enabling high definition images and sound. Masergy also provided the London studio for the 3D transmission.

“This demonstration represents what is possible when you combine incredible video technology with an advanced video network,” said John Dumbleton, SVP and Managing Director of Masergy.
The possibilities of our new Holographic Telepresence system are endless, as best described by Ian O’Connell himself: “Most telecommunications companies see it mostly for use in the boardroom but we think it can be far more inclusive than that. Because it’s bi-directional both sides interact in real time, so it could work in education where a teacher can be transmitted to a class of two or three hundred but by using touch screen technology, she could home in on any PC for one to one with a particular student. Churches can transmit charismatic preachers, prisoners can have visits with their families in their own living rooms, engineers and inventors can collaborate, entertainers can appear in nightclubs to launch a new album in 1,000 music stores simultaneously or your front room and the possibilities for politicians are obvious. What the implications are for dating I dread to think. If you think the internet transformed everything, if you think You Tube and MySpace are great, where will this go?”

CNN Hologram - Telstra Live Holographic Projection by Musion Eyeliner

In relation to the recent CNN Hologram news, Telstra in May 2008 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. The event was carried out by Musion Systems Limited, in conjunction with their regional partners.
