gizmodo.com — CNN's holographic election coverage is fancy pantsy, but how did they manage to send 3D 360 degree footage of virtual correspondent Jessica Yellin from Chicago all the way to the station's election center in NY? As Arthur C. Clarke says, Magic. A magic made possible with forty-four HD cameras and 20 computers. Here are the details.

But really it ends up being exactly the same thing but because of Apple's marketing it becomes trendy, overpriced, and anyone who doesn't like it is stupid.

Heh, there's a reason they're referred to as Certainly Not News.

@bpoteat - Common sense to deduce somethings not a hologram with little education on the subject of holograms? And every viewers suppose to be able to do this?
