Holograms..The Future of Video Depositions?

By Blake Boyd

Last night we were all amazed to see the Hologram usage on CNN, even though Star Trek has had this ability for quite some time! Will this be the future of how witness’ testify by video? I wouldn’t doubt it.. But it has a long way to go.

The reporters were actually in front of a green screen with 35 HD camera’s recording their every move. They aren’t really projected in the studio and Wolf Blizter is really talking to himself, as the image is digitally imposed on the screen to make it look real.

With as much attention as this is getting, I bet the hologram technology gets more funding and actually becomes reality. The question is when? And would it be effective in the courtroom?
