Fun fact: this concert actually sells out even though singer is fake and it's all vocaloid.

Did you know that vocaloid was a project between a spanish university and Yamaha? (Yamaha putting the money).
As a half-spaniard, I was very surprised.

I went to the one in LA. Absolutely amazing.

The "hologram" tech isn't new, though it's a novel application. It was originally designed for teleconferencing/telepresence.

It's not actually a hologram, but an image projected on a very fine mesh screen.

actual holograms are in the works...

History Channel did a piece on fireworks, past present and future of... and showed a machine (one of a kind prototype) that projected a crude image midair without anything to reflect off of... rather impressive even if the quality reminded me of 80's led handheld games.

Vocaloid? Isn't that the tech that has you record some diaphonemes for it to combine into words? I always wondered why it took people so long to come up with that idea for realistic-sounding computer-generated vocals.
