A bit more info - the tech behind this is a 2d variation on the Pepper's Ghost illusion ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost ), apparently licensed from Musion (http://www.musion.co.uk/ http://www.musion.co.uk/). It's had previous outings - animators at Square Zero have used it several times, including to recreate Frank Sinatra. http://www.squarezero.co.uk/what-we-do/holograms http://www.squarezero.co.uk/what-we-do/holograms
It's interesting to see their videos from 2010, which are still quite realistic but look stilted compared to the Tupac projection.
And obviously these aren't really holograms. I'm not connected to this in any way, just looked it up earlier since none of the articles mentioned what was driving this.
- nothis 15y agoYea, the media always tries to headline this as a "hologram", when in fact it's just a 2D projection. Actually, just a glass with enough darkness behind it act as a mirror. I'm sure there is a lot of know-how in what screen to use, to make the projection bright enough, etc, etc. But that's more fiddling around than revolutionary technology.
