HoloBox911 uses your own accounts with these services, so generation and speech bill to you and nothing runs on a shared key.

HeyGen and LiveAvatar are different products and need different keys. Each row below says what its key is used for.

Not connected.

Conversation brain

Where the avatar's answers come from. Your documents always come first; these choices decide what happens when they do not have the answer. Anything found on the web is said to be from the web.

Plain phrases, one per line. The avatar says these are not something it can help with here, and never looks them up.

Visitors

People who registered at the gate tablet. When one of them walks up to the HoloBox, the avatar chosen here greets them by name and tells them their host has been told. The list updates as they register and arrive.

Nobody is set to greet yet. The gate still registers visitors.

Delete your avatar?

This removes it from your account and from the video provider. Your photographs were already deleted after it was built, so this cannot be undone — you would need to scan again.

AI Conversations

An engine is something a visitor can talk to. It runs on Ollama, on the HoloBox911 server, so no conversation leaves the network and none of it is billed to you.

Engine

A subject is a character this engine can be — a receptionist, a product expert. Each has its own role and goal.

Holoportation

Live on the HoloBox

Step into the HoloBox

Your camera appears on the glass. People at the HoloBox and your guests talk with you — only you are on the glass; your guests’ cameras show on this phone.

—

Present from this phone, or from any phone or laptop with the presenter link. Guests join from a link or QR code, heard by everyone and seen only by you — no app, no sign-in. Up to 8 guests.

Opening your camera…

Just you

Control from another device

Scan this with the phone or tablet you will hold. It gets every control in this menu — microphones, cameras, the logo, the 3D model, guests and End — and this phone stays the camera.

Keep it to yourself: whoever has it can control and end this Holoportation. It stops working when the Holoportation ends.

Links

Open this on the phone or laptop whose camera should be on the HoloBox. Keep it to yourself: whoever has it presents.

Try-On Booth

Photograph a customer with this tablet, and show them on the HoloBox wearing any piece from your catalogue.

0customers today

0pieces

Try jewellery on

Please hand the tablet to the customer, or read this to them.

Take the photo

Head to chest, hair away from the ears, facing the tablet.

Try on

Finish

Tick the looks the customer would like to take home, then show the QR on the HoloBox for them to scan.

Catalogue

One piece per photo, on a plain background, photographed straight on. This photo is what gets worn, so the clearer it is, the better the try-on.

Booth branding

Everything here is stamped into each look — on the HoloBox, on this tablet and in the photo the customer takes home.

How a look will be branded

Preview on a stand-in portrait

A PNG with a see-through middle, 1200 × 1600 pixels (portrait, 3:4). Keep the design to the outer edge so it frames the customer rather than covering them.

Along the bottom of every look. Leave it empty for none.

Changes apply to every look styled from now on.

Live Try-On

The customer stands in front of this tablet and sees themselves live on the HoloBox, wearing any piece from your catalogue in 3D — and whole sets at once.

0customers today
0pieces in 3D
0pieces

A PNG with a see-through middle, tall like the mirror: 2160 × 3840 pixels (9:16). Keep the design to the edges so it frames the customer.

Try jewellery on, live

Please hand the tablet to the customer, or read this to them.

Live mirror

Finish

Tick the snapshots the customer would like to take home, then show the QR on the HoloBox for them to scan.

Pieces in 3D

Every photo in your catalogue is made into a 3D piece on this tablet, by itself. Here you can set a piece's real size, which side a nose pin goes on, or use your own 3D model (.glb) instead.

For the best 3D, photograph each piece straight on, on a plain background that is not white — white pearls on white are hard to tell apart.

All HoloBoxes

Every HoloBox on this account. Its camera can be watched live from here — it is never recorded, the HoloBox shows a small “Camera on” mark while you watch, and each viewing is logged.

Box Camera

Watch and listen to any HoloBox on this account, live. Nothing is recorded, the HoloBox shows “Camera and microphone on” while you do, and each time is logged. A sign near each box saying so is recommended.

Try-On Gallery

Every customer's pictures from the Try-On Booth and Live Try-On. Each is kept for 30 days, then deleted.

Conversation Avatars

Agents

An agent here is its own web page - the way Jonty and the other agents ran in the previous app. The HoloBox opens the page full screen and it listens through the box's microphone; this phone is the remote.

Add an agent

What the HoloBox shows: the agent waiting, and the agent speaking. MP4, WebM or MOV, up to 250 MB each.

Today's date, live cricket scores, the news, the weather and Wikipedia, checked each time someone asks. Free, no keys.

The phone's mic button sends what it heard here. Leave it empty for a page that listens on the HoloBox by itself.

Grows the agent from the feet up. Takes effect the next time the agent comes up on the HoloBox.

Subject

Who is this?

The name an operator picks from a list, and the two lines the avatar is told about itself before it answers anything.

What should it know?

Attach the documents this avatar answers from — policies, price lists, specifications, notes. It quotes what is in them and says it does not know when they do not cover the question.

PDF, Word, plain text, Markdown or CSV, up to 10 MB each. A PDF that is a scan has no text in it to read — upload one whose words you can select, or the original document.

What should film it?

The price is for this whole ad at the length you chose, on your own key. You can change it later, before anything is drawn.

3D Model Animation Ads

Show a real 3D model of your product, turning, on the HoloBox. Paste a Sketchfab link, or upload a 3D file.

A .glb file shows exactly as it was made. Sketchfab models show in Sketchfab's own player.

3D model

Turn or pinch the model here - the HoloBox follows live.

Best: a PNG with a transparent background, about 1200 × 400 pixels (wide) or 800 × 800 (square), at least 600 across. PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 8 MB. Place and size are set on the Logo page.

Product Ads

Choose the type of ad to make.

Product Ads

Describe a product, approve the storyboard, then have the ad filmed. Each frame you approve becomes the opening of its own shot — the ad is your storyboard brought to life, with its own sound.

Exploded View

Your product

Add one photo and the rest is done for you: the parts are read from it and the storyboard is written. Every frame is drawn from your photos, so the parts are your product's real parts. More sides photographed, better parts.

Drop product photos here, or tap to choose

In order from top to bottom. These are what come apart in the film.

Product Ad

What should the storyboard show?

Each line is drawn as one still frame, and each frame becomes one shot of about eight seconds. So six lines is a film of about forty-eight seconds, and what you approve here is what gets filmed. Set the camera and the movement on any shot, and use the arrows to put the shots in order — the order here is the order the ad plays.

Add a photo or two of the actual product and every frame is drawn from them — the real shape, colour and label, not an invented one.

Drop product photos here, or tap to choose

Create a character

Describe who you want.

They are drawn from your description and kept, so you can use them again in the next video without describing them a second time.

Drawing your character

Four versions are drawn, and you pick the one that is them.
This usually takes a minute or two.

Which one is them?

The three you do not pick are deleted, and only the one you keep is ever built at the render vendor.

Product Ad

Which brand guidelines?

Upload the brand book once. Its colours, tone and rules are written into every shot of every ad that uses it. The file itself never leaves this server.

Product Ad

Who presents the ad?

This is the person who appears in the finished ad.

What do they sound like?

These are the words that will be spoken in the finished ad.

Drawing your storyboard

Each frame takes about twenty seconds, so six take roughly two minutes.
You can leave this screen — the drawing carries on.

Storyboard

Is this the storyboard?

—

Each of these becomes the opening frame of its own shot, in this order. Approving them is approving the ad — so if one is wrong, change that scene and draw it again before you go on.

Approve this storyboard?

Approving locks these 6 frames. Nothing is spent by approving — it is what unlocks the paid render. If you change a scene afterwards the approval is cancelled and every frame is drawn again.

Each frame is filmed as its own shot and they play one after another, so what you are looking at is what the ad will be.

Generate this ad?

This is the paid step. Each approved shot is filmed on your own keys — about — credits. The storyboard frames are already drawn and paid for; they are not billed again.

Each approved shot is being filmed.
You can leave this screen — it carries on.
