Headquartered on Gibson, Kensai Holographiks designs, produces, and markets "recreational hologram environments" or RHEs, one of the major forms of home entertainment available in the 31st century. These environments consist of prerecorded holograms that are designed to interact with various minature props in the viewer's home to produce a remarkably life-like effect. Viewers can experience first-hand the sensation of piloting a 'Mech or AeroSpace Fighter in battle, of climbing a mountain, or of hunting a klima-beast in the jungles of Karakiraz--all without leaving their homes. The sensations are so realistic that individuals with vivid imaginations will often find themselves sweat-soaked and exhausted after viewing a particularly strenuous RHE.
Kensai, the largest of several holo producers, is a publicly held corporation whose stock price has fluctuated wildly over the years. Its current Executive Director, Tatiana Vanderbilt, started out as a starlet in Kensai's adventure holos and later married the corporation's then-CEO Milton Horowitz. Since succeeding her late husband in 3020 (after a no-holds-barred boardroom struggle that left several high-ranking company officials jobless), Tatiana has shown an able hand at management and a cutthroat's zeal at wheeling and dealing.
For the last 50 years, KH's Licensing Division has hired the latest war heroes (with lucrative fees) to appear in military simulations. As a result, the company has had much greater access to front-line locations and equipment than would a civilian concern, which has made more than one district commander nervous about security leaks. Little can be done, however, since many of their long-term contracts were authorized by Janos Marik himself.

I can vividly imagine the hologram advertisements all over New Avalon and Tarkad: "Recreational Hologram Environment - the best present for self-enamoured bachelor on St. Valentine's Day!"

Oh yeah, I'll take some, one with special add-on for simulation of Clint Eastwood's roles: "You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?" Right?

It's all fun and games until someone gets a digital copy of your latest colonoscopy and then... well, you know the rest...

Woot for Holodecks. Going to make drugs look like caffeine.
