CNN Holographic Reporter on Election Night 2008

[BrendonSmall456]

this is hilarious

[WalkinLA]

Check out the new hologram of Elvis with Celine Dion on American Idol. (YouTube will not allow the link!)

The 'editors' are trying to claim it's a body double. Nonsense. The movements are identical.

[hozayamz]

That cunt didn't do a very good homage to MK Ultra Carie Fisher, now, did she? Paul Simon was given Carie- why? Don't tell me the Feds invented soft rock as well. Why don't people realize Lucas works for the NSA? What is going on? Obama and the NSA are flagged as misspellings, but the CIA and the Rothschild apes aren't- ever wonder about that, Fly-boy?

[12chapin]

hologram? can you say Star Trek

[lovedog49507]

Amazing

[catzilla82]

search using "Holographic 3D Digital Projection Explained" on youtube and then u will know the actually technology behind it. its very much true and happening. It will take some time for newbies to grasp this idea.......

[delipark]

WB says, "we can have a more intimate conversation and our viewers can enjoy this as well" as if the presidential election was just a roundabout way to use viewers as participants in a marketing survey.

[Tumbleweed45]

Lologram!

[eleven2181]

this is NOT A HOLOGRAM. why?

1. if it is a hologram, there should be a reflection on the shiny floor. if there are no reflections, therefore, the other news caster is not seeing anything in front of him.

2. if it is a hologram, her holographic image should not move when camera moves. notice her feet is not stuck in place in the red spot when the camera pans.

THIS IS CLEARLY MISLEADING. this is why you shouldn't watch too much television.

[societyexile]

you've watched too much star wars buddy

[thegentlemanspy]

My only reaction to this is disgust. Im a huge fan of actual technological progress, and that this is not. This is in no way anywhere near a hologram. Its a special effect. The image does not actually exist in the studio, Wolf Blitzer cant actually see who hes talking to, and the fact that hes pretending that he can means that both he and CNN are full of shit. No legitimate news organization would blatantly lie like this.

[WarCheiftan1]

@thegentlemanspy U MAD?

[bakerandbaker1]

What did you honestly expect from CNN, the CABLE News Network? The only way they can hope to draw in viewers from the big Four Networks and MSNBC (which is basically NBC News' cable network) is with expensive one-time (based on the fact that they clearly don't do it on a regular basis or else they would) gimics like this.

[elgritoensilencio]

Have someone hear about is not holographic but tomographic instead? Seems is not a real holographic technology...sorry! :-)

[LF39MC]

This is CNN saying thanks to CNN for having the biggest audience. Yes we at CNN love our new hologram technology, which, of course, only we at CNN have. CNN CNN *ahem* okay, so, Obama. Now on CNN.

[trommelbiel]

Men this is out of this world. Thank God for this technology.

[Butterstickx2]

God had nothing to do with it.

[EngorgedWeThrust]

He says he's seeing her, but it's a reference to the broadcast we're seeing, not as if she's in front of him. This is a "tomogram", not a "hologram". A tomogram has 35 cameras and a good computer placing her on a screen as if she was visible in a studio. The red disc on the floor is just bullshit to make people think it's coming from there and as a placeholder for what direction the person actually there has to look over at.

[kioal]

lol...wolf you dope..

we have all seen star trek..so WE HAVE SEEN LOTS OF THINGS LIKE THIS ON TV BEFORE you old fool..

jesus what a load of old bollox

[Jeebus84]

Btw,i just noticed this scary shit.......when she moves her hands,they kinda flicker.....the way u see holograms do it in the movies n shit.....like how the fuck did they know holograms would be like that if they hadnt already been invented years ago?Maybe it wasnt just special effect but real fuckin holograms lmfao.....

[Jeebus84]

Has anybody heard about these "radio frequency holograms" that aparently can interact with objects as if they are solid themselves?This shit is amazing and i dunno,scary?Who's to know what the hells real and whats fake anymore if u cant even trust your own sense's of sight,touch and sound?Whats gonna be next,holographic food that you can eat and shit out with no calories?LMFAO.....that would be good if u could taste it......

[Frano911]

i seriously this this is real

but its kinda weirdlight dosent just stop in mid air like a light saber

[noseasnegative]

"you've never seen anything like this on television" - i know some people would disagree.

[kbreds101]

star wars more like it

[Finland4ever92]

So wait, Could Wolf Blitzer and the people in the audience see the hologram or was it just a editing thing that only people watching on T.V. could see?

[Innova]

It's Live, Nothing Edited.

[offbeatodyssey]

lame

[Kykkyaa]

cool

[Sinosure]

Star Trek type sh*t !! That's hott though!!!

[URaya]

This is fucking surreal. O-o

[jmoon23]

o, and by the way, the nwo is really pissin me of right now, with the "all-of-a-sudden-amazing-ass-t­echnology" that they've had for decades so people will buy into the global fascist technocracy.

[ibn1989]

yep that's exactly what's happening.

[jmoon23]

I was wondering when they would come out into the light with this... I saw a holographic repeater on FOX about a year ago, but they filmed only the bust, so most wouldn't have known better.

"To survive, the spectacle must have social control. It can recuperate a potentially threatening situation by shifting ground, creating dazzling alternatives- or by embracing the threat, making it safe and then selling it back to us" Larry Law, from The Spectacle- The Skeleton Keys

[jinjin16]

very interesting. what do you mean by making it safe and selling it back to us?

[Didgebaba]

The commodification of experience. The hologram serves little purpose other than spectacle. A small change has emerged in the socio-political fabric of America, to normalize it and make it part of the spectacle economy; mediated life, a dazzling alternative, part of the superhero image of Obama, is inserted into the play of images. Obama represents progress in a system that is standing still. So how is it progress? The dream is all we have at this stage, which CNN manufactures and sells to us.

[graphattic]

What about a holographic satan in the studio... it would be more appropriate for cnn!

[jusmart]

The future is now.

[DurAR89]

Hey Bootme21, this technology is being used on Americans too, think about it... All the cameras around... Jow Blow on the street tying his shoes, from the back looks like he's planting a b0mb... Yea, this will be used in the next terr0rist attack.

[dnHooligan]

she looks like a sith lord.

i was waitin for obi-wan to show up.

[ibn1989]

they just wanted people to watch so they could get ratings

[bootme21]

No, they introduced this when they did because they knew people would be watching.

[ibn1989]

oh ok. do you think they might use it for evil purposes in the future?

[bootme21]

I think it may be used for censorship purposes in the future.

[ibn1989]

how so?

[bootme21]

Why show what's going on behind the reporter when you can hide it and entertain the people?

[ibn1989]

yeah that's true. i never thought of it that way

[fredgt28]

Looks so fake. Its not hologram, its CGI. Just like the fireworks at the Olympics. LOL

[Jonase123]

Alan Watts saw it coming all along!!

[GSMMW]

GOd forbid we would see protesters behind real people. Now they can completely contain any reporting. This will be used again for future use...
