ENTREVESTOR: AVALON AIMS TO CHANGE VISUALIZATION

Avalon Holographics is one of those exciting startups that require a leap of imagination to fully grasp what its technology could do in the short-term, let alone years from now.

The St. John’s company wants to use hologaphics – three-dimensional images produced by disruptions in light beams – to revolutionize the way people use visual displays like computer screens, TV monitors or even cellphones. It’s a market currently worth about $150 billion. When Founder and CEO Wally Haas lists the possibilities, he ends by adding, “and others not yet imagined.”
