the Tupac hologram

i dont care what anyone says, go giant tupac every time

they could just make dr. dre 50 feet high

giant tupac w/mini nate dogg in his pocket

if they'd had this technology 15 years ago we could've been saved from some really terrible posthumous videos with a toon pac:

Are there videos of hologram Nate Dogg? I feel like he got shafted :(

i wonder if they purposely looked for a clip to hologramize where his pants werent too large so as not to offend current sensibilities

oh god i forgot there was a claymation pac too

they should bring all the digital pacs together for one incredible once in a lifetime concert experience

Check this one out.

It almost looks like Celine Dion is really there.

this technology could also be used to create 'rock n roll heaven' w/ all the dead classic rock dudes jamming, boomers would pay good money to see that

They do in Pleasant Plains' Reoccurring 'Mulholland Drive/All Eyez On Me' Nightmare

luckyy

may you live in interesting times

this is so rad

may you be blessed with high quality holograms from more interesting times gone by

For the very first time, I wish I had been there at Coachella, mad lifted.

You thought the eye at the Blue Oyster Cult show was watching you.

*buys stock in hologram company*

Go home and there's Tupac at the top of your stairs.

trying not to google tupac + "minstrel show" to see if anyone's gone there

poor guy is dead and they're still making him rap and dance

this could lead to exquisite new highs of poor taste in mash up culture

holograms of biggie and pac forgiving each other and hugging in the afterlife

"Shouts to Obi Wan Kenobi, my only muthafuckin hope!"

cant wait for the exciting genre(s) of holorap/holowave /indigram

i like things that make me feel like im actively living in the future instead of passively succumbing to the present

thinking abt how futurists want to upload our minds to the internet and become immortal and how itd effect tupacs art to be disembodied, just occasionally projected for profit, the deep longing for corporeality in rap form

totally getting a hologram of myself projected at my funeral

^^^ as a surpise appearance would be even better

this technology could also be used to create 'rock n roll heaven' w/ all the dead classic rock dudes jamming, boomers would pay good money to see that

figure this will happen on at least some scale, but that no one will really care. maybe holo-beatles could be a thing? figure the big money is in simulcasting "event" concerts featuring tween stars like beiber and the jonas brothers, or whatever the equivalent is these days.

also having it climb out of the coffin xp

^ good short story idea at least

bless

wait you know what would be cool, watching a hologrammed super bowl

I kind of feel like I'll just have enough money in my estate to pay for a 3d model of me, but they won't have enough money for animation so it'll just be my likeness performing Tupac songs with his voice

wait you know what would be cool, watching a hologrammed super bowl

yup courtside seats for all

yeah, hologramming of real-life stuff in real time will be big. plus we could all have chess sets featuring monsters!

eh chess is just a game for computers to play w/ each other

Hologram Pac was totally lip-synching.

hologrammed farmville maybe

would like to see gr8080 collaborate with hologram chaki on new 'found IRL' picture thread.

keep wanting to be a pedant and say this isn't a hologram, but whatevs

hologram dom p could offer zingers until later discovered that he's just a projection on a hanging bedsheet.

dude

what if

It was a holla! - gram.

this is fucking bullshit. not a hologram.

if this isn't a hologram, does that make it a hologram of a hologram

what if we're all holgrams.

ain't no hollagram girl

what if... holograms

wait you know what would be cool, watching a hologrammed super bowl

Looking forward to Holmgren Hologram.

i saw this and it was amazing, but hard to get a feel for how it was in person, given that i was watching it in 2-D. i guess i sort of just doubt this is an actual hologram? don't you need to use some crazy 3-D capture camera technology to make a hologram? you can't just extrapolate a hologram from video footage

(i realize there is probably a listicle that explains all this)

um

Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson have apparently been singing their duet to holograms of each other. I guess how effective it looks depends on where you're sitting, but it is kinda funny to hear the crowd go apeshit in this video, right around :30 or so.

singing their duet to holograms of each other

way of the future

How long before a commercial model? Like in 5 years can I just download the Beatles and have them play at my bbq?

it's basically just a projector + a reflective surface + an appropriate transparent surface on which to project it (the illusion is pepper's ghost, what a lot of magicians use). like, the setup is of course not trivial but i suppose ppl could be having the beatles play their bbq right now if they wanted

See: the Tupac hologram

according to the radio ads, eazy e has been added to the holo lineup along w/ odb

almost bought one of these on a whim yesterday (i believe they are around $500 USD). this is new handheld holography tech from China. apparently there are a bunch of consumer grade LED holograph projectors on the market. the future's gonna be cool.

holy shit, that is really cool and i would love to see what other things can be displayed besides coca-cola bottles, mcdonalds, and $ signs

i think they are basically video players and take the usual formats AVI, MP4, etc. they are around 40cm in diameter, about the size of a shield. imagine setting up several of these in a room - you could do some amazing stuff!

Like chopping your fingers off while trying to grab Pokemon.

I thought it was Andy Samberg, TBH

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to hire a Buddy Holly impersonator and, like, give him a hotel room every night than invent hologram technology that you then have to lug around the country

that dude is the lamest looking buddy

no holograms involved, but this is an interesting interview with holly herndon on the recent song by Travisbott, which is an AI trained on Travis Scott (without his permission).

herndon touches on the possibility (the inevitability, according to herndon) of labels using AI to create new songs which mimic the voices of older singers. Just train an AI on a bunch of tracks of an elvis voice, then have elvis guest on a new song. "My music may suck but I'm on a major label (ft. Elvis)". interesting to think about, and given the strange popularity of shitty remixes of older songs, it does seem inevitable.

...Spawn, Herndon's "collaborator," was trained on different, consenting human voices ranging from Herndon’s own to that of a 14-piece choir; she denies that Travisbott is an extension of her work even outside of ethical considerations. “We used audio material [instead of MIDI], which is actually much harder.” When she spoke with The FADER in 2019 about Proto, Herndon said she saw something like Travisbott coming: “I think we're going to see a flood of automated compositions, people using neural nets to extract the logic from other people's work, and a lot of appropriation. We're going to see big issues around attribution.” Now that this future has arrived, what’s next? Speaking over Skype, Herndon succinctly broke down her concerns while rejecting the “evil robot” vision of the future.

...

Q: Do you think that one day voice modeling is something that could buttress this tendency to keep revisiting the same pop archetypes?

A: Oh, 100%. Are you kidding me? There's so many labels with gold mines worth of master tapes that they're just dying to reanimate. That's definitely going to happen.

We'll see what the public decides that they want, or what they don't want. We also decided as a society that it's okay to not pay for music. So I don't know, maybe we're going to also decide that entertainment trumps everything else. We're going to see a lot of retro fetishism artistic necrophilia. And maybe some of it's even going to be interesting. But we have to figure out the ethics around it, and I don't think anyone's even wanting to have that conversation. We're still all excited about the shiny new toy instead of thinking about what it means.

um.

here we go!

The logical next step is to make their aging audience into holograms too.

Imagine you don’t have to walk up those endless arena hallways and stairs anymore on the way to your seat, just watch the concert straight from the retirement home and see your younger self stagediving & crowdsurfing.
