CNN Hologram?

Has anyone seen the CNN coverage of the recent US Presidential Election? If you were glued to the said TV station, then you must have witnessed CNN reveal the latest technology it has embraced to delight viewers (and astound competitors).

Jessica Yellin, a CNN correspondent covering the US Election in Chicago was remarkably “beamed up” to the CNN Election Center in New York! Enabling this was the amazing holographic technology adopted by said station at such a timely occasion—in consonance with the historic 2008 US Presidential Election. The technology allowed Ms. Yellin to directly deliver the news as if she was physically with Wolf Blitzer who was then anchoring the news in New York.

Ms. Yellin briefly explained the mechanics—how she was actually situated inside a tent packed with cameras focusing on her from various positions. The different angles taken created and transmitted a life-like image of her to the CNN Election Center.

Impressive! The hologram was so Star Wars-like. Who knows we might already be looking at the ultimate forerunner of what will revolutionize and launch news reporting to a uniquely different and much advanced level.

It was briefly mentioned that said technology will have the ease of clearly conveying news from locations where intense noise tremendously hampers news delivery (such as in public assemblies or rallies).
