Just when the world had adjusted to video calls as a regular part of work — here come holograms.
A handful of startups and tech giants like Google and Microsoft are trying to make lifesize holographic projections a key part of how we communicate with colleagues.
Whether the image is projected in a 7-foot-tall box or through a virtual reality headset, users report feeling feel like they're "really there".
The technology, first pioneered in the 1950s, had a breakthrough in 2012 when Tupac "appeared" at Coachella.
