Re: Working Holograms!
It's not a hologram. It's merely a camera trick.
If you were in the studio, you would not have seen a damn thing standing on that spot. Why do you think Blitzer didn't know where to look half the time? CNN has done this camera trick before. They projected a graph onto a moving disc. The disc is just a disc. You wouldn't see that graph in the studio. It's just projected on in realtime through the camera. |

Here comes Debbie Downer! :P I kinda figured that, but I refused to believe it. There are very advanced and working holograms now, though. I can't say whether this is legit or not, though.

It's very likely holograms will be coming in the near future. The kinks are already being worked out. There are even holographic instruments like harps that you play by strumming a beam of light. It might not be much, but it's a 3D image, not just a laser here and there.

Apparently you didn't see American Idol when Elvis was singing with Celine Dion.

I am not arguing that Holograms are good or bad. I am merely stating the fact that what was on CNN tonight was not a hologram. |

I know. I wasn't trying to make you look like the bad guy. I just wanted whoever read your posts to not get disappointed. Holograms, holographs, whatever, are already becoming a reality.

Re: Working Holograms!
It's the same special effects they use to super impose people in movies and television.
ONLY IN REAL TIME. That's pretty cool, but it doesn't really have any bearing on the idea of holograms other than the fact the the special effect was made to look that way. It's like watching Back to the Future and getting excited about hoverboards; no, they're special effects.

Re: Working Holograms!
Cool to watch, but not really real... that kinda sucks.
I was just watching Red Dwarf, too... |

I know. She explained that. It's still an awesome concept, though.
