Available for over a year<\/p>\n

Pam Cronrath tells her deeply personal story of creating a lifelike speaking hologram of her husband, Bill, after he passed away. Pam wanted to honour a promise she’d made to Bill, for a “super wake”. And so Bill’s hologram appeared in front of two hundred guests at the event, and surprised them with a verbal greeting.<\/p>\n

Also this week: if you’ve had a knee operation and have a smart device monitoring your health, the doctor might want to see you now. And virtual glucose monitoring tech for diabetics – with the help of AI.<\/p>\n
