Capt. Kirk to the holodeck: Shatner beams in to remote meeting

LOS ANGELES, California: More than half a century after he materialized on far-flung planets as Capt. James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise, William Shatner has beamed into a distant land in a demonstration of hologram technology.

The 'Star Trek' actor was a guest speaker at an advertising conference in Sydney, southeastern Australia, where his lifelike image appeared in a box like a giant action figure despite his being in a studio in California.
