It’s like a real-life episode of ‘Black Mirror’.
PORTL INC., an LA based tech company just gave the world an AI-enabled “StoryFile x EPIC PORTL” hologram machine.
It looks like a telephone booth however it allows you to visit each other as beyond realistic holograms and allows you to bring back historical figures and deceased relatives back as a hologram.

According to the NY POST, this seven-foot-tall hologram machine makes it possible for you to communicate with an artificially intelligent hologram of your choosing.
“We say if you can’t be there, you can beam there,” David Nussbaum, the CEO of PORTL, told the Post. Nussbaum is the one explaining how the machine works in the video below.
PORTL says that the machines can “beam” in people from anywhere in the world, and also play generated holograms and animations. And while the $60,000 device is simple enough to plug-and-play, recording the holograms looks like a serious task. In fact, it seems like recording the holograms requires a whole photo-studio setup.
Is this not the trippiest thing you’ve ever seen?
PORTL gives the user the near supernatural power to Zoom their TikTok anywhere in the world via live HoloPortation technology.
