Title: 2Pac lives?
Post by: Brian Fein on April 17, 2012, 04:41:58 pm
This has been a hot trend on Twitter.  I have watched the video here:

I think this is awesome, but I wonder how its done.  I suspect "hologram" is a misnomer.

At Disney World, they use the sheer nylon screen to project images on in many places to illustrate floating things, rain, etc.  It allows you to have a medium to project onto and still see through it.  I suspect that's what this was, and not really a "hologram".

I wonder what it looked like from the side.  Was is really 3D?  Meaning he has thickness?  Or is it just a CGI animation being projected on a see-through screen.

Either way, its still pretty effin cool.

Cool...

Take a look at 4:12... some significant projection issues there.

There doesn't seem to be any depth to it (notice the shoes, for example, at compare to Snoop's -- and there's no parallax when the camera pans), but certainly very cool.

I noticed the same thing around 3:50.  He seems to flatten out a bit, which is why I think its more of a projection than a hologram.

And at 1:15 they show a good close up that makes him look like a video game.

Corny and would have totally ruined whatever drugs I'd have to be on to be at Coachella.

I don't know if this is how it was really done, but this was posted on reddit.com. http://imgur.com/hc5ln
