Link to the coolest video ever. Tupac shakur hologram perfoming live with Snoop Dogg.
pretty cool!Originally Posted by HighDef
i hate to rain on your parade, but from what i can see they are just doing the video version of peppers ghost, a famous trick from the 1860s
(i forget the name when a video is used instead of a second identical set, but the principal is the same)
This is brand new technology just created. A HD projector throws the images on to a reflective surface on the floor, the images bounce on to a Mylar surface angled to reflect the image but leaves the Mylar invisible to the crowd. Its only a 2d image. Not sure why i typed all that but i did.
And for anyone who wants to watch the video, the link is broke so just type into youtube, Tupac Hologram Coachella or suhin
Cool!

yup, its just a modernisation of the peppers ghost illusion. the mylar is a better version of the glass and the projector is a replacement for the second room.Originally Posted by eflixxx
even this CGI hologram version of peppers ghost is nothing new. check out this two year old video from japan:
