CNN Used a Hologram During Election Coverage

If you were not watching CNN's election coverage of the 2008 presidential election you missed a very interesting site, a hologram. It does not seem to have any news benefit, but it seems to add the the "coolness" or entertainment factor.

"CNN Senior Vice President David Bohrman reported that they have placed 44 cameras and 20 computers in each of their remote locations to capture and record three-dimensional images of the remote interviewees. The data will be used to create the hologram, which will make it appear as though the interviewee is in the studio with the CNN correspondents."
