CNN doing the first “Holy” Hologram
And Jessica Yellin is the first one to be hologram-ed!

Jad's Thoughts
Your freedom is worth more than you think. Take advantage of it while you can.

i hate to burst your bubble .. but CNN didn’t really do holograms … the images were available on the monitor but the presenters in the studios did not actually see them (which makes it not a hologram).
However, if you are interested, Cisco made a successful demo of hologram technology about a year ago.

How did you know that? the presenter didn’t mention anything about that.

Jad:
and they said that they weren’t really seeing that congress hologram in the studio.
They were toying with a similar technology to project the congress and the senate seats in a holographic fashion on air earlier that night and it crashed on them
Also, the last point in this article mentions that they weren’t really seeing that hologram in the studio: http://gizmodo.com/5076663/how-the-cnn-holographic-interview-system-works
However, Cisco did demo an actual hologram earlier this year or last year. Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcfNC_x0VvE

Za3tar, the technology you talked about has been with us for quite a while. Th Giz explains what they think is happening and the actually only suspect that the images are not actually projected.
Bill Gates was beamed in about 6 months back in 3 times normal size. It is becoming more common.
