“The technology allows for the most believable and interactive human holograms. This exciting event felt as if we were in the room with Professor Hawking,” said Simon Leung, Vice-Chairman and Executive Director at NetDragon. “We have our own permanent Augmented Reality Holographic Technology suite in our headquarters in Fuzhou, and look forward to exploring the potential of the technology across Greater China.”
