This is pretty wild.\u00a0 When this originally aired I was still at work so I didn’t have the appreciation of seeing it live but if this YouTube clip survives the piracy police then enjoy.<\/p>\n

It’s a clip from CNN where the anchor in the studio (in Atlanta, one would assume, though perhaps New York) is talking to a reporter in the field (in Chicago).\u00a0 The reporter is being projected into the studio as a 3D representation (basically like a holographic image) rather than onto a video monitor.\u00a0 It allows the anchor to interact more realistically with the reporter.<\/p>\n

I guarantee this will take off.\u00a0 Yes, it’s currently expensive and requires a large setup, so it’s not viable for any significant in-the-field reporting (I mean, why does<\/em> the reporter need to be ‘in the field’ for this kind of report?\u00a0 She could just as well be standing in the studio).\u00a0 But as the technology improves it will be interesting to see how this will be implemented in other forms.<\/p>\n

There are many examples of this kind of new technology being adapted for different uses – one of the better ones is the ‘Matrix’ effect (multiple still cameras around the subject all linked and timed to take photos for that cool avoiding bullets in slow-mo look) being used for professional sports – seeing the quarterback’s viewpoint from around the stadium is pretty cool.<\/p>\n

I could easily see this hologram effect being used throughout the news media but think about international meetings or protected witnesses in a courtroom.\u00a0 What about the medical field (think micro-cameras).\u00a0 The uses of this are pretty interesting to contemplate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
