[b]QUOTE from the holograms creator -[/b]
[i]"We worked with Dr. Dre on this and it was Dre's vision to bring this back to life," said Nick Smith, president of AV Concepts, the San Diego company that projected and staged the hologram. "It was his idea from the very beginning and we worked with him and his camp to utilize the technology to make it come to life." Smith said he wasn't allowed to talk about the creative aspects of the production -- including how the hologram was able to seemingly perform the set in synch with Snoop and whether all the vocals were 'Pac's -- but he did say that his company has the ability to recreate long-dead figures and visually recreate them in the studio. [b]"You can take their likenesses and voice and ... take people that haven't done concerts before or perform music they haven't sung and digitally recreate it,"[/b] he said. (MTV)[/i]
That last part that Ive highlighted in bold is kinda scary.
Very cool technology though!

The Doctor
MemberOvomorphApr-19-2012 7:19 PMIt's not that impressive, I thought it was when I first watched the video, but after a little research, the technology behind this is the same as the haunted house at Disney, it's infact a Victorian trick used by magicians. This involves a projector, a mirror and a plastic/Perspex angled wall. The image is not 3d and not technically a hologram

MemberOvomorphApr-18-2012 9:40 AMWhat does 2pac crap got to do with Prometheus? Just wondering. Is he in the movie doing a cameo? Maybe he is the new facehugger or better yet his voice is projected as a death ray and peoples ears explode when they hear it. Cool sifi stuff.

MemberOvomorphApr-18-2012 9:46 AMUm...thats why I said that I want this thread moved to the correct section like general discussion or something.
Read the OP next time.
....And yes, hes in the movie doing a cameo. Not sure if he gets face hugged or anything during his performance though. I heard that he just shows up in the background doing a performance in a scene set on future earth. Nothing with action.
