Barcelona is once again the global meeting point for the audiovisual industry, with the celebration of the most important fair in the sector: Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026. In an increasingly hybrid environment, the great challenge is to eliminate the barriers between the physical and digital worlds. At i2CAT, we are joining this event to showcase how our research into immersive technologies is transforming how you interact with content.
You will find us in the Generalitat de Catalunya pavilion, on Level 0, at stand CS100-3. This year, our space becomes an open window into the innovation being cooked in our laboratories.
At the i2CAT stand, you won’t just see technology; you’ll understand how the new era of immersive broadcasting is being built. To do this, we have prepared an interactive infographic that explains, in a simple, visual way, the capabilities of our Media Technologies research group.
Check out all the pictures from the 2026 edition of ISE at our Flickr page.
The main attraction of our stand will be the HoloTotem technology, developed by Volum Technologies. It is a fully integrated, compact volumetric capture and display unit designed to bring holographic communication to any environment. Experience your first holographic call!
We want you to stop imagining the future and start touching it. That’s why, during the congress, you’ll be able to make a holographic call from our stand. This live demonstration will let you experience how immersive reality technologies and next-generation networks are transforming remote presence, turning a simple video call into an almost tangible, volumetric meeting.
Since March 2026, i2CAT has been moving its headquarters to Pier01 at Tech Barcelona to continue driving digital research from a unique environment. In this new stage, we gain the space and capacity to create state-of-the-art laboratories that will transform how we communicate.
Within our new 2,000 m² facility, the Media laboratory will be a key component in leading the deployment of immersive reality (XR) and next-generation communication technologies (XG). We want to offer you cutting-edge solutions that connect technology and people in one of Europe’s most dynamic hubs.
We look forward to seeing you at our stand! 📍 ISE 2026 – Fira Barcelona Gran Via – Pavilion of the Generalitat de Catalunya (Level 0, stand CS100-3)
Come visit us and discover how we can help you lead the digital transformation of the Media sector. We are here to transform knowledge into real impact for your company and for society.
It is an advanced holographic communication technology designed for immersive virtual, augmented and mixed reality (VR/AR/XR) experiences. This system allows the representation of people and objects in high-quality, real-time 3D volumetric video, facilitating multi-user interactions in the Metaverse. It is used in sectors such as entertainment, education, cultural heritage, and the corporate world, and is the basis for the spin-off Volum Technologies.
Sync-X is a pioneering solution developed by the i2CAT research centre, transforming how audiovisual content is produced and consumed. In an environment where multi-device consumption is the norm, Sync-X solves the challenge of latency and desynchronization. This technology consists of a modular set of software and APIs that guarantee synchronised frame-by-frame playback across multiple simultaneous screens, including TVs, mobile devices, and Virtual Reality glasses. Sync-X is the ideal tool for live events, multi-camera production and social viewing. We invite you to visit our booth to experience a live demonstration of how to take audience interaction to the next level.
