Summary
At People Matters TechHR India 2026, we ran one life-size HoloBox hologram display on the expo floor at Yashobhoomi on 6 and 7 August 2026. Over the two days it hosted AI avatars of Jonty Rhodes and People Matters chief executive Pushkaraj Bidwai, a live beam-in of GrowthSchool founder Vaibhav Sisinty, and four other experiences. More than 250 CHROs, directors and senior HR leaders engaged with it.
The brief
People Matters describes TechHR India as Asia's largest HR and Work Tech conference. The plan was to put a single unit on the expo floor and have it do several jobs across the two days: hold one-to-one conversations, bring in a remote speaker live, and give delegates walking past something quick to try. TFG was the knowledge partner.
What we built
We set up one HoloBox and loaded it with six experiences:
- An interactive AI avatar of Jonty Rhodes
- An interactive AI avatar of Pushkaraj Bidwai, chief executive of People Matters
- A live holographic beam-in of Vaibhav Sisinty, founder of GrowthSchool
- An avatar department selector
- Gesture-controlled games
- In-app AI video creation
AI avatars that answer questions
The avatars were built from source material about the person and their role, not from a scripted video. Delegates asked questions in their own words and the avatar answered in natural language, so each conversation was different.
A live speaker beamed in
Vaibhav Sisinty was captured at his own location and shown life-size inside the HoloBox on the event floor. Two-way audio let him hear delegates at the venue and reply live, without travelling.
How it worked on the day
Delegates walked up to the HoloBox with no headset, app or training. They spoke to the avatars, used the department selector, and played the gesture-controlled games with their hands and body. Longer one-to-one conversations ran alongside quick games and photo moments, so the unit suited both delegates with time to talk and those passing through.
Results
More than 250 CHROs, directors and senior HR leaders engaged with the HoloBox across the two-day event. One unit carried six different experiences, including two interactive avatars and a live remote speaker.
