I am guessing you don't need 3d glasses to see the hologram. If so, I am all for it. They need to replace those very annoying glasses in 3d movies.

It's not a 3D image.

From the article: "massive, see-through projection screen"

Nonetheless, the projection technology behind this is interesting.

I've been waiting a long time to be able to see this show live. Since last December I bought tickets to see Hatsune Miku "live" this June in Mexico City.

I think it's the same type of tech used for the Tupac hologram that was touring a few years back. I believe it all works on the same kind of principle as the Pepper's Ghost illusion.

The absence of Idoru[1] references is surprising. Almost as surprising as learning that book is 20 years old. I may need to re-read it.

Imagine once VR/AR become mainstream. You'd have real artists having simul-cencerts in ten stadiums (or in homes for the homebodies) competing against anime performers who don't get exhausted or get sick or who want to retire... So the farce of the "artist" can be all done with --just corporate manufactured music entertainment.
