- The 1,500-square-foot booth lets attendees ask questions in real time, with the avatar responding conversationally and addressing fans by name.
- Tickets cost $15 through the convention website, according to event materials and coverage from local and trade outlets.
- Built by Proto Hologram and Hyperreal as an avatar rather than a traditional hologram, the system is trained on decades of recordings, interviews and Stan’s Soapbox columns.
