By Evolve Branding StudioVancouver, BCFirst published 2017 – 2020Updated July 2026

Evolve partnered on Microsoft HoloLens-based initiatives to build mixed-reality presentation systems that protect intellectual property and dramatically accelerate stakeholder learning. Where a conventional pitch deck can be photographed, forwarded, or leaked, a HoloLens presentation exists only in the room and only in the headsets of the people invited into it.

01 — Challenge

Pitching complex IP carries real disclosure risk — anything photographed, recorded, or emailed can leak, and in industries like biotech, defense contracting, and pre-IPO fintech, that risk kills deals before they start. Enterprise teams also face a second problem: dense technical concepts are hard to communicate through slides. Stakeholders nod through a deck and forget it. The mandate was to solve both problems in the same medium.

02 — Approach

We built mixed-reality presentation environments on Microsoft HoloLens 2 — 3D holograms of products, buildings, molecules, or systems that audience members can walk around, disassemble, and interact with. Because the holograms live only in the headset, they cannot be photographed, screen-recorded, or replicated. Presenters use internal hologram-based teleprompter screens visible only to them, keeping the delivery consistent without a visible confidence monitor. The result is a presentation format that is simultaneously more secure and more memorable than any conventional deck.

03 — Outcome

An IP-safe, replication-proof presentation method now used for board pitches, investor decks, product reveals, and internal training where confidentiality is non-negotiable. Stakeholder recall in post-pitch surveys ran materially higher than for conventional deck presentations. The approach has since informed Evolve's broader immersive-content practice.

The hardware

Microsoft HoloLens 2 — a self-contained mixed reality headset with inside-out tracking, eye tracking, and articulated hand input.

In the room

A hologram exists only where the audience is standing. Nothing leaves the room, and nothing lands with the same weight in a slide deck.

Evolve creates pitches that are impossible to replicate by using Mixed Reality presentations.

Evolve is utilizing mixed reality to present concepts in a completely new way. We are limiting the risks of Intellectual Property theft by using holograms that cannot be photographed, recorded, replicated or emailed.

Have a complex presentation? We create internal presentation screens that you can read from, while presenting a keynote speech. This is done with holograms.

Experience with the Big Brands.

Brad Sherwin led launch creative for Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality.

Mixed Reality Launch

When launching a national campaign the HoloLens launch needed to make a brand-new category feel inevitable. Our work paired cinematic story with crisp product clarity so the technology read as both magical and ready to ship.
