if it's real hologram, let he put the hand throw him, and prove us!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheEmogothboy1]

this can't be hologram too, where's the hologram laser machine???

[mls245]

Obviously he's in a Chroma studio, it isn't real!

That's not a hologram. CNN used dozens of cameras at different angles to shoot a reporter thousands of miles away from the news room. They then projected the live images inside the news room via hologram.

[MikeAffordMedia]

'via hologram' ? Er... no they didn't.

But yes, they *did* use an awful lot of cameras.

[chillin1147]

your technically right, however no one has actually used a true hologram; one that can be seen in real time at the studio, not using a green screen. i.e., they cant see it in person and run their hands through it.

[MikeAffordMedia]

Of course. The point being that the BBC pretended to do holograms before CNN did :)

Funnily enough, as early as 2001 we were projecting a separate realtime feed of graphics on to truematte (grey, not green) so the talent *could* see them in person and point/touch with accuracy.

@chillin1147 ...didnt "Take that" use a hologram of Robbie williams on one of their stage tours.?

The CNN hologram is not a true hologram; the anchor can not see the interviewee in the studio, only we as viewers can. The interviewee is keyed into the main studio. The trick that CNN pulled off is to synch the main studio cameras to the feed cameras seamlessly so that when the camera in the main studio changes its position, lens state etc the matching feed from the remote locations many HD camera is used. An impressive and difficult way to conduct a two way, but defiantly NOT a hologram.

You certainly know your stuff jonnyguitar007.

Give it a year or two and CNN will have caught up with the bling thing.

[dimitar4e96]

@jonnyguitar007 yes , but here on BBC its the same tactic, using a green screen or a chroma key screen

[JohnnyLuuVietnam]

that aint real
