Barcelona is once again the center of the global technology universe as Mobile World Congress brings together the most influential innovators shaping the future of connectivity, AI, and edge computing. This year, WaitTime is proud to be showcased live on the show floor at the Intel booth, demonstrating how patented AI-powered crowd intelligence is transforming real-world environments through Cisco’s Unified Edge platform.
At the center of the demonstration is a truly innovative experience: WaitTime’s patented crowd analytics platform feeding real-time intelligence directly into an interactive hologram of Howie Mandel.
The result is a powerful and engaging showcase of how AI at the edge can transform physical spaces into intelligent, responsive environments.
Turning Video Into Intelligence at the Edge
WaitTime’s platform processes live RTSP streams from specifically placed camera infrastructure, transforming raw video into actionable operational intelligence. Running efficiently at the edge and optimized for Intel architecture, the solution delivers real-time insights such as:
Crowd density monitoring
Queue length and wait time detection
Entry and exit flow analysis
Capacity management and safety alerts
These insights are delivered through WaitTime’s API, which in this demonstration powers the interactive hologram experience. As the system analyzes crowd activity in real time, 'Hologram Howie' dynamically responds—creating a live example of how AI-generated insights can drive engaging, intelligent applications.
Cisco Unified Edge: Where Intelligence Meets Infrastructure
Cisco’s Unified Edge platform brings together networking, compute, and AI capabilities to enable next-generation edge applications. By integrating WaitTime’s analytics engine into this architecture, organizations can deploy powerful computer vision capabilities directly where data is generated.
The collaboration demonstrates how edge intelligence can power a wide range of industries including:
Stadiums and arenas
Airports and transportation hubs
Retail and shopping centers
Convention centers and exhibitions
Smart cities and public spaces
With the combined power of Intel’s edge-optimized computing and Cisco’s Unified Edge platform, WaitTime’s technology scales seamlessly across global environments.
AI That Engages, Not Just Observes

The interactive Howie Mandel hologram highlights something important about the future of AI-powered environments: intelligence doesn’t just sit in dashboards. It can power experiences.
By feeding WaitTime’s real-time analytics into an immersive interface, the demonstration shows how operational data can be transformed into engaging, human-centered interactions.
It’s a glimpse into a future where venues, retail environments, and public spaces become adaptive ecosystems—responding instantly to how people move and interact within them.
