We are proud to share that HoloConnect was successfully utilized during NASA’s HERA Campaign 7, which consisted of four missions. Crew members inside HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog) communicated holographically with HERA Mission Control personnel using our cutting-edge holographic technology.

🔍 What is HERA?
HERA is one of NASA’s analog habitats. Volunteers inside HERA simulate the isolation and confinement of deep-space missions to help NASA prepare future astronauts for the challenges of space exploration.

🌌 HoloConnect continues to redefine the future of communication—bridging distances with holographic presence.

Aexa Aerospace produces creative solutions for training and operational support using mixed reality, augmented reality, and virtual reality. The company worked with Microsoft to create a solution using holographic teleportation where 3D models of people are virtually reconstructed as a three-dimensional figure elsewhere in real time. Aexa is developing the Microsoft HoloLens and the Aexa Holowizard© solutions in the health, energy, defense, and aerospace sectors, so that remote subject matters experts like surgeons can be “in the room” and provide better communication and support. Using the solution, Aexa CEO Fernando De La Peña Llaca and his team became the first humans to use holographic teleportation from Earth into space.

We were the first ones and the only ones that completed holoportation in space in human history. 

Customer challenges

What if a surgeon in a remote location could use holographic teleportation to help with a complicated surgery as though they were in the operating room? Aexa Aerospace, LLC is aiming to make this question a reality. The company provides creative solutions for training and operational support using mixed reality, augmented reality, and virtual reality in the health, energy, defense, and aerospace industries. Its vision is to become the undisputed world leaders in using XR (extended reality) to enhance personal communication, training, and real-time operations support. Aexa wanted to build a holographic teleportation solution so that subject matter experts could provide better assistance in remote locations.

Partner solutions

Holographic teleportation allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed, and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time. Using holographic teleportation with the Microsoft HoloLens—an ergonomic, untethered self-contained mixed-reality device—and the Aexa Holowizard© technology, people on Earth can transport themselves into space. The solution is particularly helpful when an astronaut needs medical attention. After setting up the Holowizard©, both astronaut and flight surgeon don a Microsoft HoloLens. Aexa’s software, built with the Kinect Camera[bS1]  Developer Kit translates volumetric capture data of both participants.

This partnership will create a new wave for people to communicate, to work, to interact, and socialize. We just opened a box of unlimited possibilities. 

Customer benefits

Aexa is developing the Microsoft HoloLens and Aexa Holowizard© so that subject matter experts can benefit from a 3D experience, making assistance more accessible, experts more informed, and hopefully lead to quicker outcomes. Aexa is focused on expansion for multiple platforms and uses in the health, energy, defense, and aerospace sectors—for situations like remote surgeons entering the operating room or getting a remote Air Force expert to help with a plane that needs to refuel. 

Aexa CEO Fernando De La Peña Llaca and his team have used the solution to become the first humans to use holographic teleportation from Earth to go into space. This allowed medical professionals to talk to astronauts for assistance. Using the two-way holographic teleportation, the flight surgeon and the astronaut appear as three-dimensional figures to each other. The flight surgeon can visually assess the astronaut and provide treatment, and the astronaut can visually point to an injury or describe their illness. “This partnership will create a new wave for people to communicate, to work, to interact, and socialize,” says Fernando De La Peña Llaca, CEO at Aexa Aerospace CEO. “We just opened a box of unlimited possibilities.”

With the Microsoft HoloLens and the Aexa Holowizard©, CEO of Aexa Aerospace Fernando De La Peña Llaca and his team became the first humans to complete teleportation in space in human history. 

Now, subject matter experts can benefit from a 3D experience, leading to more information and better assistance. Like in the case of flight surgeons who can visually assess and treat astronauts, and astronauts visually describing an injury.

The solution is being expanded for use cases in the health, energy, defense and aerospace sectors, so that remote surgeons can enter the operating room, or a remote Air Force expert can help with a plane that needs to refuel.

This is the beginning of a new communication technology.

JSC Director’s Innovation Group Achievement Award 2022

The Holographic teleportation team received NASA’s JSC Director’s Innovation group for their outstanding vision and execution of their holographic teleportation technology on the International Space Station.

HoloConnect

On a momentous day in 2021, a group of pioneers made history by crossing the final frontier. They were not astronauts but doctors and engineers who used Aexa’s groundbreaking technology to holographically teleport themselves from Earth to space. They appeared as lifelike 3D holograms on board the International Space Station, where they chatted and shook hands with the crew. This was the first step towards a new era of communication, where distance and time are no longer barriers. With Aexa’s holographic teleportation technology, we can connect with anyone, anywhere, in 3D, as if we were sharing the same room. Whether it’s for health, education, work, or fun, holographic teleportation can bring us closer together than ever before.

Imagine being able to beam yourself to any place in the world as a lifelike 3D hologram that can talk and interact with others. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, not anymore. Holographic teleportation technology is here, and it can revolutionize the way we communicate, learn, work, and play. But there’s a catch: this amazing technology comes with a hefty price tag and a lot of hardware requirements. You need powerful computers and special glasses to make it work. That’s not very accessible or affordable for most people. That’s why we at Aexa decided to change the game. We made holographic teleportation technology device agnostic and affordable. That means you can use any device you already have, like your iPhone or iPad, to capture your hologram and stream it to someone else. No need for fancy computers or expensive equipment. Just your smartphone or tablet and a good internet connection. That’s it. Now you can holographically teleport yourself anywhere, anytime, with anyone. How cool is that?

Imagine being able to travel anywhere in the world without leaving your home. You can do that and more with HoloConnect®, the ultimate holographic teleportation app! HoloConnect® lets you create and join virtual rooms with other users, where you can experience each other’s presence as if you were really there. It uses advanced video technology to capture and stream realistic and lifelike holograms of real people and objects in real-time.

You don’t have to break the bank to enjoy the magic of holographic teleportation. You can get it now at a reasonable price. You can also record and share your holographic experiences on social media and wow your friends and followers!

For the full 2-way experience, you’ll need two devices: one to capture the hologram and one to view holograms sent to you. iOS devices and Microsoft Hololens are currently supported, with more coming soon.

HoloConnect is the ultimate app for immersive and social communication. Download it today and explore a new dimension of reality!
