A '''holoband''' is a user interface technology that allows for a seemingly fully immersive [[w:Virtual reality|virtual reality]] experience in a space known commonly as [[V-world]]. Holobands are worn in front of the eyes and secured on the bridge of the nose and behind the ears, similar to eyeglasses. Real-world sounds and sights can interfere with the experience ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]"), so users must keep their eyes closed.

The device was invented by [[Daniel Graystone]]. The success of the technology made Graystone a celebrity scientist, who frequently appeared on television and in other media. An interactive [[avatar]] of Graystone in the halls of [[Graystone Industries]] appears the first time a holoband is used, providing a simple user's guide and directing the users to popular and legally licensed V-world sites ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]").
