"Ailias is a company based in Surrey, UK, which promises to make that hypothetical a reality. It can reanimate historical and current legends with 3D hologram avatars that are fully conversational, knowledgeable, and can be delivered to you in a box."
"What sets Ailias apart is the company's playful focus on history and education, which the company describes as 'ultra character creation.' The company focuses on animating dead notable personalities into real-feeling conversational holograms, designed for interaction rather than spectacle."
"Ailias' current roster has over 70 characters that could be staged in their bespoke boxes, including Henry VIII, Beethoven, Julius Caesar, and a suspiciously sexy Cleopatra. That these are mostly historical figures is no coincidence-Broadway describes these boxes as great for educational settings or museum exhibitions."
Ailias is a Surrey-based company that uses hologram technology to create interactive 3D avatars of historical and contemporary figures. Unlike standard hologram displays used for events, Ailias focuses on 'ultra character creation' designed for educational and entertainment purposes rather than spectacle. The company offers over 70 characters including Henry VIII, Beethoven, Julius Caesar, and Cleopatra. These holograms are fully conversational and knowledgeable, capable of performing various actions like juggling, doing squats, or breakdancing. Pricing varies based on rental, purchase, or bespoke character creation, with minimum weekly rentals costing thousands of pounds. The focus on historical figures relates partly to copyright restrictions and suitability for educational settings and museum exhibitions.
