Nanolumens, an industry-leading manufacturer and designer of cutting-edge LED displays and solutions, and Noro, the company behind the Portal immersive communications system, have partnered to bring Portal to market, a platform designed to bridge the hybrid collaboration gap by making remote participation feel human, natural and connected.
Portal combines Nanolumens’ expertise in dvLED display technology with Noro’s leadership in life-size, immersive design and intelligent spatial camera systems, creating a seamless environment where remote collaboration feels natural, connected and truly in-person. Unlike traditional video walls or conferencing systems, Portal delivers full-scale, real-time presence with true-to-life proportions, spatial depth, and natural body language, no headsets, glasses, or complex interfaces required.
“Portal is setting a new standard for hybrid collaboration,” said Kurt DeYoung, Chief Revenue Officer for Nanolumens. “By uniting our display engineering with Noro’s spatial camera intelligence, we’ve created a system that redefines what remote collaboration can feel like. Together, we’re closing the gap between physical and virtual presence.”
“Noro’s mission has always been to make distance irrelevant,” said Teun Hilte, Head of Client Relations at Noro. “We put the human element front and center of the experience, and the design-driven LED display solutions of Nanolumens bring clarity and presence to every interaction”.
The Portal platform is built around a shared mission to make hybrid collaboration feel more human. Developed by two companies known for reliability and technical innovation, Portal embodies a unified purpose to remove barriers to presence, engagement and simplicity. Early pilot programs have already demonstrated the real-world benefits of the technology.
“It felt like glimpsing a bit of the future with huge portals where you could see full-size versions of people in meetings,” said Nick Bloom, Professor at Stanford University. “We had a call to New York, and it felt connected to see people’s movement as they walked around, rather than just their heads.”
Stuart Bern, Managing Director, Americas at JLL, shared a similar experience. “The energy was something that cannot be explained but must be experienced. The benefits of connecting team members across offices while reducing travel costs and emissions is just the beginning.”
Nanolumens and Noro will introduce Portal globally through existing Nanolumens and Noro integrator networks with configurations tailored for enterprise, education and command environments. Designed for reliability and ease of deployment, Portal will begin rolling out in early 2026.
