Holographic presense by MATSUKO

MATSUKO is a European deep-tech company focused on real-time holographic communication that brings authentic human presence into virtual and extended reality environments.

MATSUKO enables live 3D holograms of real people, not avatars, captured using a standard smartphone and streamed in real time into VR/XR spaces. The technology is built on proprietary AI-driven 3D reconstruction, compression, and streaming pipelines optimized for low latency and efficient bandwidth usage, allowing holographic presence even over constrained or heterogeneous networks.

Unlike avatar-based systems, MATSUKO preserves natural facial expressions, body language, and non-verbal cues, which are critical for trust, learning, collaboration, and emotional engagement. The solution works across devices and platforms, integrating with existing XR applications, virtual worlds, and enterprise systems without requiring specialized capture hardware.

MATSUKO’s core use cases lie in education and training, healthcare education, culture and live performance, and public administration, where real human interaction matters most. Typical scenarios include holographic teachers or experts appearing in virtual classrooms, remote specialists guiding training sessions, live cultural performances and tours, and public officials engaging citizens in virtual civic spaces.

The company’s technology has been validated in multiple EU-funded R&D and pilot projects and is designed to scale within interoperable, multi-stakeholder ecosystems such as societal virtual world testbeds and regulatory sandboxes. MATSUKO’s long-term mission is simple: restore real human presence to remote interaction and make virtual worlds feel genuinely human.
