The problem with the hologram is that there’s no way to know that they’re in the location they say they are. That lady could have been reporting from the next studio for all we knew.

At least the Soviet people knew their media was lying to them.

I noticed a couple networks did the hologram thing. NBC nightly news was the other one.

I saw a video of it and thought it was pretty cool.

That they will no longer have to pay reporters, they can just generate a hologram of a composite reporter.

I really hope they don’t do that. I enjoyed watching stupid reporters standing in a storm, knee deep in water, reporting on how bad it is. Do they actually believe we don’t know what a storm is like?

CGI is within three years of being able to create completely realistic “people.” That will be the end of TV and movie actors and reporters.

I think they are getting ready for when it is no longer practical to take Larry King out of the freezer for an hour each night. Defrosting and re-freezing him must take its toll.

You know ... it brings to mind a verse in the Bible that has always perplexed many but this kind of thing gives it a little more meaning.

Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

They were thinking the same thing every news organization, sports organization and TV network has been thinking for 30+ years: shiny draws the eye. There’s been a steady increase of graphics, sometimes informative, sometimes pointless, but always eye catching, for quite a long time. A lot of news shows now are living entirely on virtual sets, the desk is fake, the walls are fake, everything except the and maybe the clothes is CGI, and the chair might not actually look like that.

I had to hit the rewind button on Fox Tuesday night when they had a split screen of two anchors talking and all of a sudden a man walked across in front of both live screenshots. I thought I was seeing things at first, LOL!

That’s not a real hologram, it’s a video dubbing occurring in a computer. Blitzer could not see the “projection” of the other anchor. The Star-Wars fuzzy image is just a gimmick effect of bouncing laser light off the anchor.

Far more sophisticated effects occur anytime you watch a sports event and the billboards you see out around the field are actually filled in with region specific ads.

The reports have always been hollow...sort of like a chimera.
