AT&T · Augmented Reality

AT&T asked for a way to show what a connected network does for medicine. Exhibitry built a HoloStory pod: a bare operating table, a HoloLens, and a story that arrives when the visitor air-taps START.

A holographic patient appears on the table with a surgeon beside him. Visitors are thrust into the middle of an emergency heart surgery, toggling skeletal, respiratory and epidermal layers and turning a voluminous 3-D heart in their hands.

As the surgery closes, screens rise above the patient showing family in the waiting room and on the street, each checking a phone. One reads Surgery successful. The scenario ends with the network that held every step together.

Real objects, digital layers, one production: the dais, the table and the model city were fabricated to the exact positions the holograms needed.

Why it mattered

Exhibitor Magazine called it the AR activation that truly dazzled attendees.
