Watching music performances of a special Virtual Hollogram of musical artists

[DJMK4]

Hi all,

Just seen the video of this virtual performance via Hologram of Tupac at Cochella festival in America

If you do a search on youtube for Tupac coachella 2012 (I don't want to directly embed as it contains swearing)

What's your thoughts on this? one half of me is thinking yeah it would give everyone a chance to see their favourite artist in a virtual performance on stage at a concert or festival somewhere.

The other bit of me is thinking, little bit creepy, the other bit is thinking just a way to exploit dead artists and make more money.

Whats your thoughts on this?

The video of the hologram stood on stage looks surprisingly real!, if you didn't know about the virtual part, you would think it was real, although I am not sure what it looks like up close. But certainly does look like the real Tupac on stage rapping away as if he was real and there and not a hologram.

Don't really know what to think of this, they are on about doing virtual performance tours of artists and bands that are no longer with us.

I think this just shows how **** music has become if you can get upstaged by a hologram of a dead person to be honest.

This.

I don't see how this is any better than going to a concert to sit and watch a pre-recorded video performance instead of live artist.

Not for me.

It wasn't an actual hologram, look up Peppers Ghost. But it was still impressive.

was AWESOME! The animations were spot on, it was just as he was on stage with Snoop (although he was 8foot tall lol). Pac was very talented, I watched it a few times in fact. Didn't fine it creepy, found it like a testament to Pacs greatness.

Agreed if it was a hologram of a live person

Dead or alive this isn't the way I want to watch "live" music.

The concert or the rap artist didn't really excite me, the technology however did. It looked very good

It made me wonder how long it would be before holographic telephone calls would become standard in the home!

The Hologram of Tupac is still better than Drake Live

I think they are already big in Japan going by the vids of Hatsune Miku.

Can't even imagine

I watched a track or two of the Tupac set, though I'm not a fan. It seems to me that when everyone is there and they get going, it's going to be a pretty good gig!

 

[Shamikebab]

It was a little creepy.

If anyone's wondering how the hologram was made...

 

[Kosmiche]

^^ Isn't that what Gorillaz have been doing at their gigs?

 

[G-MAN2004]

Pretty cool, but really I think he should just come out of hiding and perform again for real.

I went to this at The O2 a couple of years ago.
