CLEVELAND -- While the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas is bringing nearly 4,000 companies together to showcase the latest and greatest in the tech world.
Those living around Cleveland don't have to travel that far to get glimpse of technology innovation.
EventWorks 4D was founded by Cleveland native Joel Solloway, and uses holographic technology to continue to push people out of their comfort zone.
“I think people get comfortable. We force people out of that. People underestimate their own creative ability and they stay squarely within a comfort box. We make people think creatively and say, 'Hey, the only limitation to what we do are your imagination and undoubtedly at the end of the day, your budget.'"
Lately, he and his team have been working on what they call living history. They asked a holocaust survivor thousands of questions so that now, they can project the survivor onto a stage to answer real questions, like he's sitting right there in the room.
"We've created a virtual immortality. We'd like to document musicians, astronauts, scientist and politicians where the stories can still be told by the people who were a part of it."
EventWorks 4D is taking their hologram staging and display technology to CES in Las Vegas this year, where they're also unveiling a new invention they're calling "deep frame" or a mixed reality display.
“Deep frame is going to allow you to have a portal or a window to holographic visuals, but in a real world, not on a stage without the use any sort of virtual reality headgear. It opens up Pandora's box."
