Claim:
1. A three-dimensional image simulation device, at a first location, for managing a live event, comprising: an image capturing device for capturing live captured data corresponding to a presenter; a processor for generating, in real-time, hologram data based on the live captured data; an output interface for broadcasting the hologram data in real-time to at least one additional location containing an audience, wherein the hologram data is used to create a hologram of the presenter at the at least one additional location based on an apparent parallax effect in a simulated three-dimensional display device, the hologram creating a three-dimensional illusion for the audience regarding actual presence of the presenter at the at least one additional location; an input interface for receiving audience data from the at least one additional location regarding interaction between the hologram and the audience; and a display device for displaying at least one image based on the audience data to the presenter, wherein the at least one additional location includes a second location that is different from the first location, and a third location that is different from both the first and second locations, and wherein the processor is configured to: generate and display additional images representing the audience to the presenter based on the received audience data; and modify parameters for generating the hologram responsive to receiving the received audience data, wherein the modified parameters for generating the hologram lead to generation of the hologram which gives the impression to an audience member in the audience that the presenter is directly looking at the audience member when that person is being addressed by the presenter by looking at displayed generated additional images.
