Having seen his outrageous speeches and horrific haircut, you might well think having Donald Trump in just one location is one too many. However, maybe you should brace yourself, because soon Trump (and many other less upsetting politicians) will be able to bark their promises at you wherever you happen to be. Sometimes in multiple locations.
This unique media system allows citizens and voters to interact with leading candidates.
New media company, 4Dpresence, has announced the immediate availability of a live event and new media tool for political candidates and any other groups wishing to remotely address an audience. Would-be presidents, Prime Ministers and MPs seeking national or local office, can now appear live as holograms in dozens of augmented reality Holographic Town Halls™, in several venues simultaneously and in virtual reality formation on phones, tablets, notebooks, computers, and TVs. This unique media system allows citizens and voters to interact with leading candidates in person or even as holograms themselves. All of which means candidates can reach a much wider audience while reducing security costs. Here's a nifty video explaining more.
This is an audacious undertaking.
4Dpresence Media Networks connects people, wherever they are, to premier venues and events around the globe. The company confidently states this is an audacious undertaking, linking social media, personal creative expression, business communications, gaming and entertainment in a connected virtual eco system. What's more, they claim it will change the way you use your phone, tablet, desktop computer, and company meeting room, and will transform education, business events, the theatre, and music concerts; breaking down the fourth wall and brings people together. Although we have heard this many times before.
Imagine George Osborne right there in your front room.
In live venues, the patented holographic augmented reality podium is so bright the candidates appear more compelling than actually being there in person. Although perhaps that wouldn't be too hard in the case of most politicians. Either way, we're assured the speaker and audience are able to engage with each other naturally, as if they are together in person. In the meantime, millions of citizens are able to partake in a patented photorealistic virtual world, streamed to their personal devices and home TVs. Imagine George Osborne right there in your front room with you. Actually, don't imagine that, it's an awful thought.
Whether it's for political or more benign purposes, users have access to a 24/7 live HD media channel to engage massive national audiences. According to Steve McNelley, founder of 4Dpresence, "We have engaged major political leaders around the world and 4Dpresence's Holographic Town Hall™ is the culmination of years of development, intended to change the way politics is done." This announcement also marks the launch of 4Dpresence Media Networks, founded by the industry innovators behind the product design and intellectual property think tank DVETelepresence. DVE has been revolutionising holographic corporate, government, and live stage communication for over a decade. This is their long awaited step into new media, broadcast and event services with visually amazing experiences.
So, while the idea of Donald 'Shredded Wheat' Trump being beamed into your life could be your worst nightmare come true, at least the technology doing it sounds quite exciting.
