Not a hologram though, but interesting nonetheless.

I mean, the Gorilaz done a similar thing a while back, but people actually saw them. And they actually looked like they were there.

Like this.

edit: unfortunately it includes that mong madonna.

This is a normal post Nobody in the studio...
can see the 'hologram' in the room. They can see her position on TV monitors. The presenter is looking 'through her', and is actually looking at a telly behind her virtual position.

She's actually stood in a 'booth' type area surrounded by cameras. The cameras in the studio do their thing, and the images are tweaked an matched by computer.

I personally think it's quite impressive, but overkill. I want my news programs to deliver facts, not flashy effects.

This is a normal post And this is the underlying problem with US Mainstream news
The fact that the thing how the message is conveyed is more important than the message itself. That and how biased they are.

This is a normal post This looks silly...
And you'll notice that half way through, they realise it's just not working, so they ADD degraded video effects so that it looks more star wars-esque.

yeah. "Technology so extreme we can barely get it to work!!!"

It's not a hologram, it's not necessary, it is ridiculous.

It's like someone standing in front of a bluescreened tropical island, saying "I've actually been transported to the bahamas!!!"
