CNN's Election Night Hologram Was a Fake

CNN's election night Hologram was not actually a hologram. It was instead a tomogram. Tomogram's appear to be holograms but are only two dimensional. They are digital constructions on your television. CNN reporters were talking to thin air using a red dot on the floor to know what direction to look at.

"In what was billed as a world-first, Yellin appeared to be beamed from Chicago into the network's New York studio for an interview with anchor Wolf Blitzer. But, in fact, Blitzer was looking at little more than a red mark on the floor."
