CNN To Use Hologram Tech On Election Night

Posted By Mike on November 8, 2008

From USAToday.com:

"It's election night, and CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer is in New York talking to an Obama campaign strategist in Chicago.

But instead of the split screen or window TV viewers might typically see during live remote interviews, the Obama spokesperson will be projected as a three-dimensional hologram, making it appear as if he or she is in the Manhattan studio with Blitzer. The network plans to conduct similar holographic interviews with representatives from the McCain campaign in Phoenix."


Click here for the full article.





UPDATE: Check out the video below of CNN's use of hologram technology during election night or click here for an article and video at Yahoo News.







Thanks to Adam-12 and Greg D. for the links!




UPDATE #2: Turns out CNN's hologram may have just been the work of some special effects according to numerous articles. Read one of them here at news.com.au.


Thanks to Steve D. for the heads up!
