CNN Holograms (???)

November 3, 2008

CNN To Use....Holograms?

The future is now, at least over at CNN. During tomorrow night's election, the network is planning on using three-dimensional holograms to supplement those weird touch screens they've been using. They'll project holographic images of their field correspondents stationed around the country, including Chicago, onto their set using 44 cameras and 20 computers in each location to get the image rendered correctly. Holy shit. I will pay $50 to the first CNN tech who manages to slip in a glimpse of the Death Star blueprints instead of, say, Anderson Cooper. [Ed's NOTE: According to this last comment, the author must have been so out of his mind, by the news, perhaps, that he mistook Anderson's name for that of Lou Dobbs!]
