Who here wants this 2pac tech?

You're right, not many people do any sort of research on this stuff and they assume it's something from star wars or star trek. It's really nothing more than some mylar film, reflective screens, and a set of HD projectors.




It looks cool, but it's not quite what people are making it out to be.

Why don't you want it?

Now bringing back a FOUL mouth rapper I can do without but cool tech no way!

well i must admit i got caught on the "holographic" word of the video...
...and now when i think about it, japan is using this "tech" for years!

Ok.

Someone please do this in your living room for the rest of us to see.

I'm not being butthole about it. I really want to see this done if its that simple.

Because it would really ease my mind.

I respect your opinion, but you really really needed to type such a thing?

This does not bother me.

This is a cartoon.

What's bugging me out that I can see this being used for unsavory reasons when used with human figures.

Pretty much everything in existence has been used by humans for unsavory things. I think it's a safe bet that this, and all future technologies will be the same way...

How will the government broadcasting 2d images on what is essentially saran wrap a greater threat than manipulated mass media?

Yeah, i dont fear this. Again, these are NOT holograms, they are simply high def projectors projecting 2d images on a semi-transparent screen. Nothing to fear here, keep looking.

This has been going on for a LOOONG time.

And the poster who corrected us all is correct. You can project the image on a wall of water, saran wrap, fog, mist, etc..

It's definitely NOT too big for a living room, I have seen examples of this eyeliner/hologram tech in homes.

Like what? Tupac being foul mouthed?

I'm not sure but I think the illusion is made by projecting an image on a piece of glass or a thin drape of mist. The technology has been around for a while. Personaly I don't think it's problem. Actually it could be a good alternative to live shows. Let's say ShineDown is playing the American Airlines Center. But I'm in Canada. They could broadcast the show to the Bell center in Montreal life size. That would be pretty neet.
