Imagine ….. discussing business with associates on a plane to London while you're flying to Paris; a surgeon at John Hopkins University in Baltimore touching and guiding the hand of a medical student in India; personal golf lessons from Tiger Woods who appears as real as if he were standing next to you…..welcome to the world of Holographic technology.

Currently, the attention of the marketplace is on the delivery of wireless communications worldwide, with an emphasis on wireless Internet access. What lies beyond is only vaguely noticed by a few (even though indirect corporate spending toward its realization is already into the billions of dollars each year). What's coming is nothing short of another revolution of communications, which could be greater in size and impact than that brought about by the present Internet: the world of the hologram. Full-colour, 360 degrees virtual image technology will deliver communications, sports, and entertainment to businesses and individuals anywhere in the world and at any time.

The Singapore International Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite Mr Martin Keating, President of First Keating Corporation to speak on this exciting technology and its future. First Keating Corporation, a development-stage company, was formed in 1995 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and distributing intellectual properties to the international marketplace, initially through existing Internet conduits. In 1998, the company expanded its vision to encompass the development and delivery of wireless holographic programming. Virtual imaging (or "telepresence") via non-laser holography is a rapidly approaching multi-hundred-billion-dollar industry.

Mr Martin Keating is an attorney who was responsible for the initial financing of Columbia Pictures' Academy Award-winning motion picture, The Buddy Holly Story. But he is known worldwide as the author of the very successful novel that foretold the events of "9/11" - The Final Jihad, which was excerpted four times by King Features Syndicate for more than 1,500 newspapers. He is currently writing its sequel, "Seekers of the Infidel".
