Pretty cool technology. I predict we will see a whole lot more of this in the near future.
They were talking about the technology yesterday but were keeping it all hush-hush for the big reveal during the night.
Thats the Change we need ..
cant wait for obama time .
i saw this before in an american idol episode where they made a duet with celine dion and elvis
@Lexicon,
Not sure if that was the same technology. This is essentially “live” – which is what makes it cool.
OBAMA WON!
A couple of years back they used the same in a BMW launch here in Kuwait.
it was done on jimmy kimmel:

lolz… I just realized her 2nd name is Yellin, before which I was wondering what’s with CNN’s strange slang caption “Jessica Yellin via Hologram” although she was speaking pretty normally.
Rollen that was different, the hologram CNN used was 3D, if you watch the video you will see that we see the hologram from different directions. If you check gizmodo you can see an article on how it was made. They used 44 HD cameras and 20 computers for it.

Completely useless consider 24 News Channels are shit.

BBC news in Cockney !! Hilarious
Yea.. will.i.am from black eyed peas was on cnn through the hologram.
It’s actually a Tomogram.

I think that the quality of the Saudi is better, ( look at the red circle under Jessica, and the red stroke surrounding her)
Anything that ever came on StarTrek is becoming reality.
it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool, and they did it with Will.i.am too!
Just goes to show how the US war machine can manipulate photgraphy when they want to………very Manchurian Candidate stuff.
All a hoax. The “holograms” didn’t actually appear in the studio as real holograms would.
