Holographic videoconferencing is almost here and many are wondering if that will prevent people from traveling as much. If you can view a holographic image of the person you are talking to then there is no reason to fly halfway across the world for a business meeting. This might kill the travel business, although the global warming alarmists see it as a good thing for the environment. Less travel means less CO2 in the atmosphere.

Curbing pollution might be a good selling point for Holographic Technologies in the communications sector due to the current climate, but it certainly is not the only positive thing we can come up with application wise for the use of the technology. Having additional angles to help promote Holographic Technology is worthy from an Industry marketing standpoint, so we have mentioned it here, although this is hardly the reason to propel the forward progression of Holographic Technologies.

Holographic Technologies can help us shore up labor shortages in many Industries, assist us in data visualization for planning, be an awesome asset in training and of course a Must See for the entertainment industry, as well. Still there are uses for government, military and so many more. Sense Entertainment and Art have been first adopters of Holographic Technologies we should begin by discussing those applications and potential future applications along those lines.

Holographic imaging technologies will be used in transportation and travel as much as communications. For instance the Federal Aviation Administration may use these technologies to help their traffic controllers handle more traffic. There will be a shortage of air traffic controllers at the FAA that will be quite large in the future. Pilots, conductors and truck drivers may all use holographic technologies in simulators to train and increase safety.

So whereas holographic imaging might be devastating for the travel agency it will also promote safety and also help us out with some of the labor shortages that are coming in the transportation sector. Holographic Conferencing Technologies - Preventing Travel to Stop Global Warming? Well, you just never know.
