Urrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh.
NO. No. NO. This can't be happening. This CAN'T be happening! It can't! It can't!
I know it's the future but that's no excuse to go insane!
At least with S1m0ne, she looked real and that was the plot - people thought she was real. No one could possibly mistake that hologram for someone real, and seeing it in real life scares and frightens me.
Come on Japan - you used to be so sane. Now you're losing it completely and that's sad to see. They're going off the deep end.

Well, at least the technology might have some applications. That video was perhaps the most painful thing I have watched in more than 4 months. I couldn't even make it to the end.
This is getting bad. I know that the audience only represent a small niche community within Japan, but this is starting to become disturbing. Japan has a problem with its birth rate, and stuff like this only contributes.

Immersive Tech [http://www.immersivetech.org/applications/art-entertainment/crypton-future-media-hatsune-miku-%E2%80%93-world-is-mine/] is a good place to start. And Singularity Hub [http://singularityhub.com/2010/10/20/this-rocking-lead-singer-is-a-3d-hologram-video/] has some more information.Moromillas said:
Basically it's a modernised version of the Pepper's Ghost [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_Ghost] illusion technology, or perhaps an adaptation of Musion Eyeliner [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musion_Eyeliner] technology, which is very similar to the Pepper's Ghost one.
It's effective mainly because the audience is a good distance from her stage position allowing them to abuse the hologram effect to it's highest potential.
Come on - all guys here are thinking the same thing. Let's not pretend that we're not living in a glorious age of technology.
The last time Japan was sane was probably back in the 19th century. Even then, it's not for sure.Korolev said:
Some people just don't seem to understand that Japan is the place you look to for this kind of crazy stuff. Of course it's strange and disturbing, Japan is generally stange and disturbing if you din't understand the culture.
Personally, I'm waiting for actuall 3D holograms. I remember seeing an Escapist interview with some company that was working on 3d holograms and one of the projections was Miku. I wish I could remember the name of the vid, though. More than wondering about the tech, though, I'm wondering if the original song writers got any money from this. I haven't seen anyone be worried about that yet.
Some of my students actually went to that concert! I have a few fas of Hatsune Miku and I`ve played the 2nd game on PSP.
I dont know a thing about her but some of my students like her.
