Musion Eyeliner is a high definition 3D holographic video projection system allowing a spectacular 3-dimensional moving life-size hologram to appear within a live stage setting using Peppers Ghost technology. Eyeliner brings dramatic, previously unseen 21st century video film effects to live events, including audiovisual artistic performances, conference or trade show presentations, retail displays and large-scale digital signage. Musion Eyeliner uses a specially developed foil that reflects images from high definition video projectors, making it possible to produce virtual holographic images of variable sizes and incredible clarity, using industry standard software. Infinitely configurable, the virtual hologram appears within a stage set. Take note that there has been no post production editing with this video so what you see is an uneditted live recording. Pretty trippy I would have to say and fun to watch!

Three Christie Roadster HD18K DLP projectors were used for the first-ever transmission of live, interactive 3D holograms from London and Montreal to Orlando, Florida from June 17-19, 2009. The interactive transmission process is known as Musion Live Stage telepresence and offers a new way for people to holographically communicate face-to-face in real time, crossing the boundaries of geographic distance.
This clip does a pretty good explaination of how their projector technology works, however, this is not the only method to holograms. Hopefully we'll start seeing a convergence of these different hologram technology to be streamlined into mainstream industry which will then drive the cost down and make it affordable to the everyday consumer!

Later this month, and for the first time in the United States the RayModeler will be showcased at SIGGRAPH 2010 at the Los Angeles Convention Center July 25-29. Whether you are a developer, animator, gamer, educator and scientist or just interested in the latest 3D technology, head over to the Emerging Technologies section of the show and make sure to see the Sony display firsthand. Can you imagine how this kind of 3D technology will become part of our everyday lives.
Granted this is far from the type of hologram that we see from Star Wars, but it is definitely a step in the right direction. I wonder how much this will cost. Anyone care to make a venture as to how much they think this will cost or how much you'd be wiling to drop for this?

What is Virtual Reality (VR)? The Meddling Geniuses at ImmersiveTech break it down and explain it in plain simple English. There is more virutal reality around than you think. Granted we still have quite a way to go but every journey begins with a first step.
Virtual reality is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that simulate places in the real world as well as imaginary ones. It takes your ~current~ reality and ~replaces~ it with a virtual one. The first widely accepted ~digital~ virtual reality was created by the US Air Force in 1966 as part of their flight simulation training, however traces of attempts to ~replace~ reality predating digital computing can be found as far back as the 1860's when 360 art through panoramic murals began to appear.

Inition 3D has developed filming equipment that films in 3D live. Two different lenses on the same camera film at the same time. A few England rugby players explore its possibilities. Filming in 3D live will change the way sports fans experience games, events, and competitions. Viewers will be immersed into the opening ceremonies of major sports events using the special filming equipment.
Stadiums would definitely be in a pickle. But this is an amazing development to be able to feel like you're IN the game. The definition of "watching" and "being at places" would change so much. What would happen to stadiums and other places that depend on live viewing of events?
