You're my only hope CNN
by Worthersee at 9:55 am EST, Nov 5, 2008 |
In what could be the most awesome technological doohickey to come out of this election cycle, CNN is having its correspondents show up in the CNN Election Center AS HOLOGRAMS! "CNN will have 44 cameras and 20 computers in each remote location to capture 360-degree imaging data of the person being interviewed. Images are processed and projected by computers and cameras in New York. There'll also be plasma TVs in Chicago and Phoenix that will let the people being interviewed see Blitzer and other CNN correspondents. [CNN Senior Vice President David] Bohrman says the network can project two different views from each city so Blitzer can appear to be in the studio with two holograms."
No more via satellite? Now via hologram. |

I presume its being edited in via CGI? Its only really cool if we can go down to the Omni and watch the hologram live. |

It uses green screen and infrared camera-tracking technology. So no, you can't go see a hologram at the Omni. Agreed, not as cool. |
