Anyone who was watching the election coverage on CNN might have seen this. Apparently, CNN has holograms. The kind that project a three dimensional image of a person in a room, like the kind from science fiction. WHERE WAS I WHEN CNN GOT FUCKING HOLOGRAM TECHNOLOGY??

Seriously, fucking holograms!

Green screen, blue screen, whatever. :P

Yeah my roommate was watching it. I like how the first time they did it he was like "IT'S LIKE YOU'RE REALLY HERE" knowing that it looks nothing like that for him. Anderson Cooper didn't know where to look at the damn thing.

Great effects guys. I liked that virtual senate thing too, haha.

She's not an actual hologram like in Star Wars, Wolf isn't actually talking to her 3D image. She's just pasted on top of the camera feed you see on TV, hence why they said all the cameras "know each other's movements." Wolf's segment only used 2 of the 40 set up camera angles.

Oh look guise, all you need is a red light in the ground and it will project holograms, lol
Looks real, shame that it's only a camera trick.

The demo video shows that it's not a real 3d image that you can walk around, but a 3d effect made by a piece of transparent "foil" over the entire stage. CNNs' hologram was put in live, but in post-production - nobody on the set could see it. The computer calculated the camera's position and overlaid an image of her from the correct camera on her side.

Wow, it's not a hologram you weirdos. It was just a realtime green/blue screen.

Clue alert: This has already been done for decades.
