I'm not sh!tting you. CNN has a fuÇking hologram system tonight,

[c-towns]

and why are they standing so far apart?

i know that there are a bunch of cameras 360°around whoever they shoot. perhaps Anderson can't go within that diameter or he'll mess up the hologram. just a guess.

So much for my Hologram pron idea...

We can improve the technology, and God willing, we will.

I am also of the opinion that this has important sexual uses too significant to ignore.

CNN's holograms not really holograms

[rubberdinghy]

The CNN anchors were not really speaking to three-dimensional projected images, but rather empty space, Kreuzer said. The images were simply added to what viewers saw on their screens at home, in much the same way computer-generated special effects are added to movies.

So it was bullshit.

One of the things that I found weird about it was how good it looked on tv. Y'know how tv looks strange when you see it on tv? There's a syncronization difficulty, in the tv's broadcast in an every-2nd-line sort of way as I understand it. So I was amazed at how good the hologram looked on tv. The true explanation clears that up.

Poop. I'm still living in the present after all.

For the record, I didn't see the hologram things you guys were talking about, I only saw the 3-D White House thing and I was pretty sure it was only us that could see it. What amazed me is how far a tv network felt they had to take things to capture an audience, especially on the biggest news day in a decade.

[Large Marge]

but they have to take some california sunshine first, catalyst-like

mmmm California sunshine!!!

They took it as far as lies. Holograms are not what they did. Special effects and video merging are not holograms.

[Freak By Night]

I would argue that Sept. 11 2001 was the biggest news day of the last decade.

Who's got my heady California Sunshine?

[phishtaper]

AC was laughing about the holograms last night. I think cnn also realizes it was a bit of a joke.

Oh yeah.

I feel ripped off. It looked shitty enough to be real.
