Ask HN: Anyone know which technology was used in the Michael Jackson Hologram?
Didn't see the live show but the videos look interesting. I'm wondering what technology was used to produce it and is it considered a major innovation?

it was considered a major innovation in the 1500s when they invented it. you ever hear the phrase "it's done with mirrors" when someone is pretending to understand how a magic trick is accomplished? Well, this is what they are talking about. It's done with mirrors.

That said it is sick as hell. I am always impressed by the things the that people could do centuries ago that we assume have to be some futuristic tech thing.
Oh, and not to be a jerk but you could have googled this for yourself very easily.
