This summer, the transparent 30″ Veeo Holodeck T30 adds gesture recognition,AI and image layers atop immediate eye-to-eye contact for about $3000.
Veeo, Inc. (Las Vegas NV) will start shipping its new Holodeck T30 transparently layered multimode presentation origination station this summer. The T30 places a high-def video camera behind an LG transparent-OLED screen that the presenter faces. When off, Holodeck T-series models look like a double-pane window on a stand; when in use, the 30″ transparent-OLED screen can add content from a connected computer layered around a clear image of the presenter who is making constant eye contact with those watching.
The Holodeck T30 also incorporates AI, both for maintaining image quality and for providing hand tracking and gesture recognition. Sketches or annotations can appear on screen almost magically, since the hand motions that create them are never seen by participants.
“If, like me, you’ve seen the movie Minority Report,” says Veeo CEO Ji Shen, “you, too, may have been impressed by watching Tom Cruise at a glass wall using hand gestures to bring computer-based elements in and out of the collection of images visible on that wall. They shot that in the spring and summer of 2001. We’re bringing that kind of technology to the world in the summer of 2024, and you won’t need to be Tom Cruise to use it.”
Three Veeo products are planned to debut in the summer of 2024.
- Veeo Holodeck M30 (around $2500) with a 30″ screen and an enclosed case.
- Veeo Holodeck T30 (around $3,000) unenclosed 30″ clear glass panel that recognizes gestures.
- Veeo Holodeck T55 (around $8,500) unenclosed 55″ clear glass screen for conference rooms.
Veeo (https://veeonow.com/) is previewing prototypes of these products at the January 9, 2024, Showstoppers event during CES. LG transparent OLED technology lets Veeo Holodeck products seamlessly homogenize the live presenter video with computer graphics and marker-on-glass whiteboard annotations.
