Can Microsoft’s “Hologram” Maker Become the New Sears Portrait Studio?

Sullivan believes that in “a time

frame of years,” this kind of video capture will be available to the average person. In fact, he told me he has been recording his two kids for several years (when I expressed surprise, he added that they would be coming in this week to take their annual hologram). The results, he say, are more powerful than a photo to look back on.
“If I put on HoloLens and see my now seven-year-old [son], walking around as a four-year-old telling knock-knock jokes, it’s a really visceral, engaging kind of thing,” he says.
Not too surprisingly, though, he says his son is not nearly as fond of viewing this kind of footage.
