Subject: Tupac Shakur Makes Appearance At Coachella
Written By: gumbypiz on 04/16/12 at 12:13 pm
Yes, he is deadl...or is he? ???
Seems he made an appearance with Dr. Dre at the Coachella Festival.
Check it out here.
I wonder if this is the start of a trend, are we going to be seeing old dead pop/rock/rap stars showing up on stage?...

You know Gumby I'm guessing that's some sort of fake computer software thing they use to make it look like it's him on stage.

You're right, just a hologram...for now.
But as technology for holograms gets better (and it will get better) what does that say about the future of concerts and concert performers? Will we have multiple concerts at multiple venues at the same time by the same performer in the future?
Do we really need to have live performances by real living or alive performers at concerts anymore?
This opens up a whole new kettle of possiblities.
Can you imagine seeing living (and dead) rock stars on stage at a hologram concert stage near you? Just as realistic looking as if they were alive, with real time reactions and movements. Would there be a need for live performances anymore?
Imagine (for lack of a bad pun) seeing John Lennon play Madison Square Garden & at the same time, just as if he were actually alive.
I bet it will happen...soon enough.

Don't get me wrong - the technology is incredible - but I think it's creepy as hell.

With this technology, they could start to "film" porn flicks with computer-generated versions of the classic porn stars like Linda Lovelace, Marilyn Chambers, and Johnny Wadd. :P

You're right, the possibilities are mindblowing.
What they ought to do is make holographic images of all the dead US presidents and animate them and then, using educated guesses, program them to where their physical strength and toughness matches up with their personalities (kind of like they did in Rocky 5 or 6 or whichever one they did that in). Once this is done, they would alll be put in a mixed martial arts tournament (using a bracket system like the NCAA basketball tournament) and then just let them go at it until 2 are left standing.
My money would be on Teddy Roosevelt. ;)

You know that could very well happen, all the old school fans who grew up listening to John Lennon would enjoy it.

To me this is VERY creepy...Almost a defiling of the deceased, having their proverbial corpse 'perform' a concert...A dead image pretending to be real acting in front of an audience. It's creepy in an uncanny valley sort of way.
Think of how you'd feel if your dead relatives were brought back as holograms from old home movies...It'd be eerie.

Yeah I know it would be creepy, problem is they can't talk back to you even if you say something to them.

Not just video, you'd need samples of actual conversation, writings, say, based on the deceased's corpus (heh) of emails and Facebook posts.
Carter: "Your relatives can come and have conversations with you... eeyuh."
Bryce: "Now that's where we start to run into some problems, Edison. You need billions of bits of memory, the kind we have here at Network 23, in order to duplicate just one personality."
Carter: "So... talking to your dead relative is like talking to... Teddy Ruxpin."
Bryce: "Yes."
Max Headroom, Deities, already covered it on Sept 25, 1987.
Back when a phrase like "billions of bits" implied thousands of floppy disks, not a 48-minute .mp4 of a 25-year-old TV series downloadable from any pirate source, the ficticious Vu-Age church made a nice call on Islam, Judaism, IBM, Scientology, the Catholics and the 700 Club - all still on the air, a quarter century later. Blank is beautiful.
Since airing in 1987-1988, the central plot point of every Max Headroom episode has come true. If you want to go 20 minutes into the future, you need to go 25 years into the past.

Well...
A fellow high school classmate of mine has collected 4 Oscar Awards for computer animated graphics. With his skills and my ideas, you may have something there Max. ;D
