But even moreso, change for the way we see things on TV. Here is singer will.i.am being beamed into the CNN studio via hologram last night. Very cool!

omg that’s fucking cool
Now you know that’s Fake right? Hologram Technology has not even been perfected to that state of awesomeness yet.
and you can see the news reporter when he says Hologram he has a slight smirk on his face. probably thinking.. “ok, now this is stupid even by our standards.”
Is this fake? I’ve never seen/heard of this in use before.
they had 40something cameras installed so they could do this
i’m guessing they had the guys stand in front of a blue/green surface or something
i myself choose to believe that it is very much reality
“CNN will have 44 cameras and 20 computers in each remote location to capture 360-degree imaging data of the person being interviewed. Images are processed and projected by computers and cameras in New York.”

Or incredibly stupid.
Ok Believe what you will but the hologram is a Fake.. its still useing TV magic to make the person look like she/ he is standing there. but in the Real World the interviewer. Can not see the image your seeing on the screen. Digital magic. Think about it.. Why in the world would CNN be using a Technology that would revolutionize the world so causality? There would have been so many news reports on it explanations people would be Clamoring to get the newest in video technology but. No they are not.. because its Still TV magic. Just like it was back when Star wars was made. the Image on the screen is not visible to the Actors / news people.
If you do not believe me Google holograms. the current technology is still useing Screens.. CNN wants you to believe that’s not necessary.

Look they write about it there.
It’s not a real hologram.
The End.
Okay…for all you sci-fi nerds this was not cool. For us regular people, it was still cool. Of COURSE we know he was not an ACTUAL hologram, it is simply the ability to cut out his image, delete the surrounding crowd noise and allow him to appear to US in the studio that is cool.
Seriously…did you guys really think that WE thought they beamed him into the studio?
Lay off the crack…
You just never know. Hate to see some one going around and saying CNN has Holograms! Its just some Clarification is all.
But i thought Crack was good for the body. Look at Amy Winehouse… LOL sorry could not resist.
Deon – perhaps I am overestimating the readership’s intelligence, but I sincerely hope not!
BTW, I have often thought of using crack as a weight loss tool…
In other news, Ann Curry stood on a computer-generated marble floor. We actually thought the floor was pretty realistic, but they paused the election results to show Ann Curry in a plain, green room. “It’s like I’m in a video game!” she said. Oh, Ann Curry.
Oh, here! Here’s a little bit of the video. Seriously, check out the floor.
I love that! All of these toys that they pulled out for election coverage are so fun!
and did you see the FOX news anchor having fun with the touch screen a-la Minority Report style…
love how technology imitates movies
Obi-wan you are my only hope!
it’s good to know they’re spending their money wisely.
I haaaated that. I was watching CNN at that point. I felt embarrassed for everyone involved. I kept yelling “OMG just put him on one of those screens!! this looks so weird and 80s-movie”
and LOL I just read some of the original comments and they CRACKED my ass uppppp… that people thought others thought it was an actual hologram…. tee heeee
