On day one of CES 2020, Daniel Litwin, the Voice of B2B, checked in with Andy Travers, CEO, Ceres Holographics, to learn more about the innovative solutions and business opportunities hologram technology provides. Travers began his journey with Ceres focused on the commercial side of holographic technology, and preparing this technology for new markets, i.e., the transportation industry. Ceres design an adaptable, holographic process for use in the cars of today and tomorrow.

The evolving technology from the traditional surface relief hologram, used in credit cards, to volume holography allows for a wide range of display applications, like automobile windscreens, because it removes the rainbow effect. While Ceres’ primary focus is on holographic technology, they realized the importance of system design as well. “Our team is not just holographers. We’ve got system optical designers, computational people,” said Travers. “we’re even extending our resources to do the content, because with the content you need to know how the hologram and the system works so you know what content you can generate, in real-time, when you’re driving a car.”

Two types of holographic display technologies in use now are transparent displays, built into the car windshield, and augmented reality HUDs. Transparent displays can reduce dashboard clutter and be used with side mirrors as well. Augmented reality HUDs have an extended projection range with a multitude of potential information and advertising capabilities. Travers said as the demand for smartphone use in automobiles increases, the need for holographic technology to display that information will make it a ‘must-have’ for consumers.

Clarity Under Pressure: Technology, Trust, and the Future of Public Safety
February 7, 2026

When something goes wrong in a community—a major storm, a large-scale accident, a violent incident—there’s often a narrow window where clarity matters most. Leaders must make fast decisions, responders need to trust the information in front of them, and the systems supporting those choices have to work as intended. Public safety agencies now rely…

Clarity in the Storm: Weather Intelligence, GIS, and the Future of Operational Awareness
February 6, 2026

For many organizations today, weather has shifted from an occasional disruption to a constant planning factor. Scientific assessments show that extreme weather events—including heatwaves, heavy rainfall, and wildfires—are occurring more frequently and with greater intensity, placing growing strain on infrastructure, utilities, and public services. As weather-related disruptions become more costly and harder to manage,…

AI in Sterile Processing Is Proving Its Value by Acting as a Co-Pilot, Not a Replacement
February 5, 2026

Sterile processing departments are dealing with persistent operational pressures. Surgical case volumes are rising, instruments are more complex, and staffing shortages remain across many health systems. Accuracy and documentation requirements continue to tighten, leaving little room for error. In busy hospitals, sterile processing teams may handle 10,000 to 30,000 surgical instruments per day, with…

Generative AI has moved past being a shiny demo and into the messy reality of enterprise operations—where data lives in different systems, customers expect instant answers, and security teams (rightfully) say “prove it.” In energy services specifically, even small efficiency gains matter: many retail energy providers operate on thin margins, and operational blind spots—billing…

Energy billing is one of those things most people only think about when something goes wrong—an unusually high charge, a missing bill, a surprise shutoff notice, or a rate plan that suddenly doesn’t make sense. With smart meters, more complex pricing options, and different rules in regulated vs. deregulated markets, even a small breakdown…
