Bridesmaid projected to wedding reception from london (England) to notl. First time I remember pricing being disclosed. The "normal" price is $25,000 but they gave the couple a special deal. 25k is about , what? 5X , 10X ? where the price point needs to be?

Thanks Max, found a link to the video, nice pr story: https://www.google.de/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/8125977/beamed-up-bridesmaid-ontario-newlyweds/amp/   Actually the price point is much too high to get this to masses, to make this attractive it needs to become low 4-digit,...and millions of beams every day;-)

Thanks Maxmoe, Synth. Yes, brilliant. Hopefully Larry gets it....portable Holopods.I go to 'capture/send' studio, but need portable Holopod deliv'd to 'receive /watch' site. Price will determine volume

[Maxmoe]

Well it's nowhere near ready for the masses. But even if we exclude the great unwashed, not even the elite will pay $25,000 for that. Show-off, look at me, pricing for the rich and narcissistic is at best $5000 for a one-off gig, is my guess, so low 4 digit, like $1000 to $2000 May get some traction. Disappointing revenue and unrealistic pricing expectations are a self fulfilling vicious

Thats my whole point, it's ridiculous form them to think their tec is so much superior that anyone would pay 25k for one event! Again, its beaming on a mesh and you need to provide a dark environment (like with every beamer) to have a good contrast, otherwise it looks just poor! I know, where the 25k come from, they need to ship all that technical equipment and 2 folks from local strategic

to 'shoot/send' from studio, I'm thinking one person, camera/lighting/tech person. $300, $500 for weekend, bill triple, $900 weekday/$1500 weekend. 'Receive/display site', one driver, one tech, checking site, loading/unloading twice, positioning, tech check, truck exp, avg time del/use/pu...8 hours ?, lots of costs.....$1200 - 1500 exps; bill triple, $ 3600/ $ 4500. So, with my

If they would like to make this accessible for all people (bday greetings etc) they could think about creating some mobile experience buses with installed holopods inside, fixed. Those geographically placed throughout the country could be a cool service. They could to a pilot and check if demand is there. Some "hologram 2 go" campaign etc.. would increase visibility drastically;-)

[tannin]

Your right, i think, Synth. There may be a business there, somewhere in the range of possibilities from your bus concept, must include studio in bus. Who knows how the public will choose to use it.......... I think largest screen for the bus.....I see families .....internationally, same game... Interesting.

[tannin]

largest screen Hologram and studio  - one space. Both sides 'broadcast'. I like bus idea. And maybe the bus idea, and free enterprise, voila,  porno.......not heading there, but ..........I'd certainly accomodate.

[tannin]

Meant, largest screen Holopod

[Synthesizer303]

As cool as the idea is with this mobile bus unit, they wont do it. Larry is not keen on revenue growth at the cost of making it accessible to everyone. He likes to stick with his  "prime" 6-7 out of 500 forbes customers ;-)

Forbes 500, some of, great mkt to seek; they have the need and the money. Mkting might bring surprises; slow take-up by Forbes 500, more enthusiasm at personal level and/or smaller biz level etc. The bus concept just might be the right approach....we truly have no idea what the public, and small biz, would do if the studio + Holopod travels to them, instead of v versa, and if the cost was a few

[Maxmoe]

Brass pole on the bus won't cost much. For now the warrants are way out of the money worthless lottery tickets but they have an unusually long life. So all the value in that 4 or 5 cent market value is the "time value" which changes very little in a week. So I bought them in place of the stock as well for the upside lottery ticket with only 20% of the capital invested. In theory I

Sane. very interesting spec at this point, the wts.
