One of the new technologies which interest me is Hologram. It is not really a new technology because it was possible to create 3D holographic picture of a static object since the 1960s, however it is only in the last few years that arbitrary scenes or videos can be shown on a holographic volumetric display.
Hologram usage is very popular in science fiction movie. For instance we all remember it in Star wars and star Trek. Many artists saw the potential of holography as a medium and gained access to science laboratories to create their work. Salvador Dali claimed to have been the first to employ holography artistically. But it didn’t catch my attention until CNN use it for the first time on television and brings its reporter to the stage.
Here is how it works:
• 35 HD cameras pointed at the subject in a ring
• Different cameras shoot at different angles (like the matrix), to transmit the entire body image
• The cameras are hooked up to the cameras in home base in NY, synchronizing the angles so perspective is right
• The system is set up in trailers outside Obama and McCain HQ
• Not only is it mechanical tracking via camera communication, there's infrared as well
• Correspondents see a 37-inch plasma where the return feed of the combined images are fed back to them. Useful for a misplaced hair or an unseemly boogar
• Twenty "computers" are crunching this data in order to make it usable
