IT WASN'T A "HOLOGRAM," AFTER ALL, SAYS EXPERT

CNN's highly touted "hologram," which allowed Wolf Blitzer to talk toChicago-based Jessica Yellen on election night as if she were standing inthe studio in front of him, was no hologram at all, according to an experton computer-generated images. In an interview with the Canadian BroadcastingCorp., Professor Hans Jurgen Kreuzer of Dalhousie University in Halifax,Nova Scotia, said that the image was actually a "tomogram," a type of imagecommonly used in special-effects scenes in movies. If the image had been anactual hologram, he noted, Blitzer would have been able to see Yellen'simage in front of him. (Such a technical accomplishment is believed to beabout ten years away.) As it was, Blitzer was only able to see Yellen on amonitor, placed out of camera range on stage.

Are these reports meant to mislead us from the holographic tech.and make us believe the technology is not available that could be used in a false flag in the future?A thought.

Actually you don't need an expert to tell you this. I recognized it wasn't a hologram instantly. I didn't experience the show as trickery either. They were doing something which in general is honestly new for television and I thought it looked cool.

My opinion is that CNN has this cool new gimmick and they wanted to use it. All the complicated words about what it really is would mean 90% of the audience would phase out. Quite likely the speaker didn't even understand it fully.

"A what?"
"Sort of like a hologram"
"Ladies and gentlemen... It's a hologram!"

I'm pretty sure holographic projectors exist. I think I saw the news items fly by. The quality is nothing like you saw on CNN. In general it's a vague whispy image comparable to the starwars movies. If we assume some high tech shadow government they might have a version that produces clear illusions. But why would they involve CNN in an elaborate deception?
