ARHT CAPSULE replacement

The CAPSULE was ARHT Media’s free-standing, life-size holographic display — the unit behind its multi-country enterprise rollouts. Since ARHT’s October 2024 bankruptcy the CAPSULE has no vendor. This page covers the supported replacement path.

The short answer

The ARHT CAPSULE was a free-standing, life-size holographic display sold until ARHT Media’s bankruptcy in October 2024. The supported replacement in 2026 is a current-generation transparent-LCD display such as the HEREweHOLO Holobox: same use case — life-size people and products, live or prerecorded, plus AI avatars — with published prices (from €27,500), in-house production in the Netherlands and active support. Locations and most content carry over — and because ARHT had its CAPSULE units built and configured in The Hague by HEREweHOLO’s parent company Vision 2 Watch, genuine spare parts and repairs for the CAPSULE line remain available too.

What the CAPSULE was used for

ARHT positioned the CAPSULE for events, lobbies, retail spaces and headquarters. The clearest public example: in January 2024 ARHT announced its first multi-country holographic display contract with a leading global luxury brand, which moved from 11 events to permanent CAPSULE deployments at five country headquarters on three continents (locations reported across Italy, USA, Singapore, China and Korea, after an earlier installation in Japan). The brand was never publicly named, and we do not name it. In the same period, UQTR in Québec ordered 5 CAPSULE displays and 8 capture studios for vocational-training research.

Those deployments are ARHT’s history, not ours — though the hardware often came from closer to home: ARHT had part of its CAPSULE production built and configured in The Hague by our parent company Vision 2 Watch. They matter because they prove the pattern most buyers ask about: pilot at events first, then roll out permanently.

Smaller spaces migrate to the Holomini (€5,200); stage-scale environments to the Holowall (€63,000 for 3 units). Details and specifications: the Holobox.

How a migration runs

The structured intake on the ARHT support & migration page covers it end to end: remote intake, content and workflow review, on-site condition check where sensible, and a written retain/migrate/replace recommendation. For CAPSULE units, spare parts and repairs are genuinely available: the units were built in The Hague by our parent company Vision 2 Watch. For other ARHT components we assess per case.

Frequently asked questions

What was the ARHT CAPSULE?

A free-standing display for life-size holographic presentations of people and products, used for events and, increasingly, permanent installations. ARHT’s January 2024 announcement of a multi-country contract with a global luxury brand — permanent CAPSULE deployments at five country headquarters on three continents — was the product’s most visible enterprise validation.

Is the HEREweHOLO Holobox a direct CAPSULE replacement?

For the use case, yes: a life-size, free-standing holographic display for live presenters, prerecorded content and AI avatars, with camera and microphone built in. It is not a drop-in hardware swap of ARHT components; the assessment determines what carries over, which is typically the location, the content plan and often the content itself. And because the CAPSULE was built in The Hague by our parent company Vision 2 Watch, keeping and servicing the existing unit is sometimes the right answer — the assessment says so when it is.

Does existing CAPSULE content play on a Holobox?

Prerecorded holographic content is high-quality video with a dark or transparent background. In the assessment we check codecs, resolution and rights; much of it converts, and what does not can be reshot in-house in 4K.
