Wow. Seems unnecessarily complicated. One camera, mounted on a circular track with a motorized cart, in a room with blue walls on all sides, controlled by a single 1980s era computer so that the camera angle of the main studio, and the camera angle of "hologram" studio are identical would have generated the same 2-D image to paste into the 2-D broadcast, for 1/100th of the cost.

I'm reminded of the story of the Russian and American space programs. We needed a way to write things down in zero gravity, and since most pens don't work upside down we spent several million dollars developing and testing a pen that was under pressure so that ink would flow out of it, yet wouldn't leak when it wasn't writing and above all, wouldn't splatter ink all over the place if they bumped into it wrong. The Russian used a pencil.

Please wait...
