Aexa Tech CEO Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca Presents Breakthrough AI and Holographic Innovations at DEFCON 33

Las Vegas, NV — Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca, CEO & President of Aexa Aerospace LLC and Aexa Tech, Aexa Tech CEO Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca Unveils AI-Powered Holographic Communication at DEFCON 33

Las Vegas, NV — Dr. Fernando De La Peña Llaca, CEO & President of Aexa Aerospace LLC and Aexa Tech, revealed breakthrough advances in AI-powered holographic communication at DEFCON 33, one of the world’s most recognized cybersecurity conferences.

Dr. De La Peña is known for leading the first-ever off-planet holographic teleportation to the International Space Station with NASA. At DEFCON 33, he introduced HoloConnect AI, a device-agnostic, real-time holographic system that works even in offline, air-gapped, and contested environments.

The presentation showed how AI holographic agents can transform cybersecurity, telemedicine, and mission-critical operations. These agents create a lifelike presence without the delays and limitations of traditional video calls. As a result, they can connect people across continents or even in space while maintaining secure, low-bandwidth performance.

“In a time when cybersecurity threats evolve daily, innovation means combining immersive presence with resilient AI,” said Dr. De La Peña. “With our technology, you can be ‘there’ instantly and securely, anywhere in the world—or beyond.”

The talk also highlighted Aexa’s partnerships with the U.S. Department of Defense, NASA, and leading commercial companies. Moreover, it explained how Aexa’s innovations are influencing fields from space exploration to healthcare and defense operations.
