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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajVGIRsKXdo (Warning - explicit language, maybe NSFW) 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. Title: Re: 2Pac lives? Post by: Dave Gray on April 17, 2012, 05:03:56 pm Yeah. This was cool...saw it the other day.
Title: Re: 2Pac lives? Post by: fyo on April 17, 2012, 05:04:37 pm 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. Title: Re: 2Pac lives? Post by: Brian Fein on April 18, 2012, 01:10:30 am 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. Title: Re: 2Pac lives? Post by: Buddhagirl on April 18, 2012, 02:09:14 pm (http://cdn.uproxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/tupac-hologram-coachella-2012-04.gif)
Corny and would have totally ruined whatever drugs I'd have to be on to be at Coachella. Title: Re: 2Pac lives? Post by: Cathal on April 18, 2012, 02:19:42 pm I don't know if this is how it was really done, but this was posted on reddit.com. http://imgur.com/hc5ln
