Does Tupac Hologram Ressurect Him in A Way

Last weekend's Coachella concert had a hologram of Tupac performing alongside Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, and people present, including Rihanna say it felt so real it was like Tupac was really there on stage. And the thing about the hologram is that it wasn't made from old footage of pac, this is all fresh...check out more explanation of it below-

Shakur was killed in 1996. His likeness has been reproduced by Digital Domain Media Group, combining cutting edge technology with a visual trick dubbed Pepper's Ghost that dates back to the 1800s. "This is not found footage. This is not archival footage," Digital Domain's chief creative officer Ed Ulbrich told the Wall Street Journal. "This is an illusion." He added that Sunday's performances of "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" are "just the beginning." "Dre has a massive vision for this," he said. (Billboard)

Although appearing in 3D, the digitalized Pac was reportedly in 2D.

Though the virtual Tupac has been widely described as a hologram, it is in fact a 2D image projected to appear as a 3D effect. To achieve this, a digital image of the Tupac animation was projected onto a reflective surface on the floor of the stage, which then bounced on to a piece of Mylar that reflects the image while appearing otherwise clear. When Snoop Dogg appeared to be rapping along with Tupac, he was standing behind the Mylar screen. (Rolling Stone)

This is really interesting to me, because i have always been interested in holograms, and the things that can be done with them. I think it is great innovation. Now, there is talks of a planned tour that would include this new resurrected Tupac. Read about it below-

Representatives for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg plan to discuss logistics for a tour involving the two performers and the virtual Tupac, according to a person familiar with the discussions. One option would be a tour in stadiums, involving other hip-hop stars, including Eminem, 50 Cent and Wiz Khalifa. Alternately, they could stage a more limited tour, featuring only Dre, Snoop Dogg and the virtual Tupac, in smaller arenas. (Wall Street Journal)
