The first product offered by the company, Epic PORTL Hologram Machine helps people to beam-in themselves from any remote location for a life-like, interactive and human sized, communication. They call it the first, completely, only available, single passenger and 4K holographic projection machine across the world.
The projector can transmit these holographic images at any hour of the day or night and with the use of the capture studio-in-a-box depicts that anyone can beam themselves to the remote place they want to. This PORTL holographic is available at a cost of US$ 60,000. They have already sold around hundred devices and have delivered it to many of the airports, movie theatre lobbies and shopping malls.
For the future plans, they are planning to develop a miniature version of their existing system that would be just the size of a desktop computer and can be used for distributing and recording holograms to anyone who has a PORTL device. The PORTL miniature will have more features than just the communication capabilities they will be having recorded entertainment as well.
