Thought I might post a link to CNN's article on their election night hologram.

A co-worker and I thought it was cool but debated its use. Say they become as popular as live trucks-- where would you use them? Honestly, if a reporter is in the middle of a loud crowd, I want to see that. That helps me understand what's going on in the story. Maybe for the lame liveshots out at the scene that's been dead for four hours? When it's too far to drive it back, just pop into the hologram?
What would really be moving is to take the setup to Iraq and have soliders use it. Wouldn't that be cool for some family to have their Dad or Mom beamed back around Christmas time?
