On November 4, I visited CNN.com to see how the election was going, but while the battle of the senators was interesting, what really caught my attention was the holograms that CNN managed to bring in. That’s right – for those of you who didn’t catch it, CNN had its correspondents show up in the CNN Election Center as holograms!
It was amazing! It appeared like how the holograms looked like in Star Wars, but in real life. Here’s how the technology works.
“CNN will have 44 cameras and 20 computers in each remote location to capture 360-degree imaging data of the person being interviewed. Images are processed and projected by computers and cameras in New York. There’ll also be plasma TVs in Chicago and Phoenix that will let the people being interviewed see Blitzer and other CNN correspondents. [CNN Senior Vice President David] Bohrman says the network can project two different views from each city so Blitzer can appear to be in the studio with two holograms.”
