Supposedly first ever live news interview done via hologram.

Made of pure awesome!

More detailed discussion of the hologram aspect starts at 0:58.

(yes, I know this is the most useless use of technology ever, but that doesn't stop the awesome!)

This is not a hologram, but it is augmented reality - which will be huge in the next few years. I've added it to my AR playlist.

Wait, so her image is being post processed into the picture. That would mean Wolf doesn't even see her. That's not really a hologram is it?

Oh, and by the way: The ONION has better graphic inserts. It seems quite apparent that they intentionally made the 'hologram' version of the woman look terrible with the faint blue outline... This technology is so old, it's not even funny.

You know, I didn't mind all of the various network virtual rooms with their crazy, overblown, pop-up, 3D bar graphs, but this is just awful!

I served with Princess Leia; I knew Princess Leia; Princess Leia was a friend of mine. She's no Princess Leia.

Very neat shit. Here's another better quality hologram interview with Will.i.am:

I was in Grant Park watching this on a jumbotron, and not only was nobody impressed but the predominant response to this was 'what a ridiculous waste of money'.

It's actually a tomogram not a hologram

That is not a hologram. That's special effects, you know like when Luke pretended to see princess leia or imagined he was flying through space.
Sounds like a 3 week Fail that took 35 high def cameras.

Not a hologram. This is nothing more then typical Bluescreen color keying, as it is called, with the added touch of motion control cameras. The cameras with the news anchor are programmed with the same moves as the camera in a bluescreen studio. All the other cameras/angles are also the same. Essentially two sets with cameras in the exact same positions, mimicking each others moves. You can even occationally see the color keying messing up, often around her, but also blimps popping up beside the 'hologram' (At least in the live interviews I saw.) This is nothing more then advanced weather man against bluescreen wall techniques. The lady tries to explain it 'all the cameras' which would make sense for a hologram. BUT she then blows it, and gives it away with the 'cameras moves at the same time' quote. A true hologram would not require such a link of camera systems.

It is lame they are calling this stuff holograms. REAL holograms DO exist now, better then in star wars. But this is not it.

Gimmicky, and it looks like shitty greenscreen. Can that even be considered a true hologram?

Downvote for misuse of the term hologram. Apparently it's actually called a tomogram.

I call shenanigans and *lies.

Also, this non-hologram stuff was done on british tv a year or two ago, if my memory serves me correctly.

Something with jon snow, i think, so probably also to do with elections.

Oh Crap this is horrible. It's just a chroma-keyed transmission, and poorly done at that. I've seen better in B-grade video games.
