The “resurrection” of rapper Tupac Shakur wowed audiences at the Coachella music festival. But the illusion isn’t a hologram, as some have reported — it’s actually a 2-dimensional video cleverly projected using technology based on an old theatre trick.
Tempe, Ariz.-based AV Concepts orchestrated Tupac’s performance using Musion Systems Ltd.’s Musion Eyeliner setup that was able to project an animated version of Tupac (created by visual production house Digital Domain) onto a screen that appeared invisible to the audience.
