Hugh Bradlow’s debut as a hologram
When Telstra's Chief Technology Officer, Hugh Bradlow, beamed live from Melbourne into an Adelaide function it wasn’t a case of smoke and mirrors it was Musion® Eyeliner™ System’s high definition holographic video projection system at play. Hugh appeared as a crystal clear three-dimensional moving image in a demonstration of Telstra’s Next Dimension Working™.
"It was great to spend time in Adelaide, without needing to spend a day on airplanes and in airports. As our networks continue to improve we will see more and more creative and diverse ways to use technology to conduct our business," said Hugh.
This technology is an example of a future enabled by high-speed fibre broadband network.

The technology behind the hologram
- Musion® Eyeliner™ System is a high definition holographic video projection system allowing spectacular three-dimensional moving images to appear within a live stage setting.
- Requiring only a single camera shoot, single projector playback the hologram technology does not require any special audience props, such as the use of 3D glasses.
- Musion® Eyeliner™ uses a specially developed foil that reflects images from high definition video projectors, making it possible to produce virtual images of variable sizes and incredible clarity, using industry standard software. Infinitely configurable, the virtual picture appears within a stage set, with the projection means invisible to the audience.
- Musion® Eyeliner™ has been used in a variety of applications including life-size holograms of Madonna (Grammy Awards), Gorillaz (MTV Awards), and Sir Richard Branson (Virgin Digital Launch).
