The experience can be improved by having <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/best-lighting-for-video-conference-call\/\">great lighting for video calls<\/a>, or by investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/blog\/anker-kicks-off-home-office-line-with-new-webcam\/\">new home office gear<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, any way you slice it, you&#8217;re still going to be staring at a screen. This limits the amount of connection we feel as human beings towards those we are contacting. A webcam frame may cut out crucial body language and physical expression. Jittery connections could mean we miss small head movements or vocal nuances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Super speedy gigabit internet connection, provided by Virgin Media, means that life-sized, 3D holograms of loved ones can be seamlessly transmitted. Creating a more realistic social experience, this could play a huge part in connecting those in long-distance relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience, provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.audience.co.uk\/\">Audience<\/a>, further plays on Virgin&#8217;s latest marketing angle of &#8220;faster brings us closer together&#8221;. Participants were found earlier in the year via a competition. Couples living in the Scottish and English capitals were surprised with the opportunity to dine together without travelling hundreds of miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been predicted that holographic technology will be more accessible as soon as 2030. Futurologist and tech forecaster (awesome job title, right?), Dr James Bellini, has stated that &#8220;it wouldn\u2019t be strange for holograms to be commonplace in UK households by the turn of the decade&#8221;. Hopefully social distancing measures will relax, and we will be able to physically meet with loved ones again soon. But, it&#8217;s exciting and sort of comforting to know that we could be better connected with one another even if geographically we are far apart. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Virgin Media has utilised its gigabit broadband network to enable people to go on pizza dinner dates with holographic versions of loved ones.
