Maybe not as epic as Star Wars but it's pretty amazing!

When I saw this, I literally IM'd, texted and called 20 people to make them watch. I thought it was awesome. Obviously a very rough, first test of the technology but pretty amazing to see it come into fruition.

uh, you guys do realize holograms are currently a technological impossibility in the way they portrayed it on CNN. They merely superimposed the person from a remote location over the video feed. The people in the studio didnt really see a hologram. Think about it, how would they be able to see an object which radiates light from a fixed position when there is nothing in the air for the light to bounce off of? This is why prototype hologram type devices use mist sprays and such to create the effect. However, this is not what is occurring on CNN

in fact go to this site and you will be amazed. http://www.io2technology.com/
there is more that I've researched, but also look up "fog screen" and realize there is also a technology like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLygWkHo9nw&feature=related
where leds are displayed on a fiberglass screen that spins at an enormous rate to show a 3d image. :) so yes, we do have the technology, and no it is not fake :)

Are you kidding me!? What "hologram" are you people talking about? That's an image composite. They used blue/green screen technology. Nothing new!!! People on the stage didn't see the "hologram". It was only seen on TV! Why do you endorse this lie!? IT WAS NOT AN HOLOGRAM. You sheeple make me sick..........................................

You are the idiot holograms have existed since the 60's Salvador Dali created plenty of hologram back then its essentially a way of bending light and getting each ray of light to only project a certain distance. We have the technology!

Perhap's it's impressive from a telepresence standpoint, but only if the environment of the viewer is virtual as well. What you could do is build sort of a surrounding wall of monitors, or use one of those 3-D displays, and make the meeting space virtual, but in a situation like this, it jazzes things up more than it contributes substance.
As for Holograms? They're real, but the question is how to project them into the thin air. It's only when a real hologram is live in the studio that this will be a true advance. Until then, it's simpler, cheaper, and less gimmicky just to do the standard splitscreen and editing.
