Yeah @lucky760, it's not a hologram (although someone took me to task about the exact definition of hologram once in the past).

It is projected onto a screen and it's a combination of previous live performances of Tupac and a digital creation by Digital Domain.

It's a bloody lifelike animation, I'll give it that.

Very cool, no doubt, and I'd love to see it in person, but I recoil a little when I hear this technology described as a hologram. It's not a 3D rendering, as far as I understand it. It's just a life-sized projection onto a really large semi-transparent surface. Right? Or am I missing something?


Yeah I think it's the same technology that they use for that japanese anime popstar Hatsune Miku.

While this is a definite +1 for technology and showmanship, it's a definite -1 for the legacy of your favourite musicians. If this becomes a trend prepare to see your favourite dead rock stars back on stage, and re-purposed, re-voiced and re-scripted to suit the the requirements or agenda of whoever's pulling the strings.

New Michael Jackson stage musical anyone?

thank you!

Also, it seems "niggers", "kikes" and "spics" are unacceptable to him, as well.
