Will.I.Am Interview As CNN Hologram

CNN Leading Networks Towards 3D Adoption

The CNN TV channel has demonstrated holographic technology in November 2008. Anderson Cooper had the real time interview with the hologram of the famous singer Will.i.am, who was in different place. The efforts of SportVu and Vizrt companies were required to manage all this. They also needed a big amount of equipment. The man, projected to the SNN studio, was being shot by 35 cameras of high definition simultaneously. By means of joint protocol the cameras translated the complex picture to the studio. They, also, were synchronized with studio cameras in order to avoid mess-up. For greater reliability the infrared scanning was applied. And after all this the whole image was processed by 12 computers in real time.
