More than an hour after delivering a speech in California, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. appeared halfway across the globe in Singapore.

To juggle these speaking engagements, Marcos used a hologram — a three-dimensional projection of his image. He’s the lone speaker at the Singapore Fintech Festival to tap this technology that’s being explored by startups and giants like Google and Microsoft Corp. as a novel way to communicate.
