2Pac’s recent post-humous performance at Coachella has caused quite the stir. If you want to nit-pick enough, sure, you can poke holes at the things that didn’t look quite right. With that said, the effect was quite impressive and I’m fairly certain that we will see this holographic effect again. While Dr. Dre plots an entire tour featuring holographic 2Pac, I’m thinking about the possibility of applying this technology to the world of video games.
If this technology evolves beyond its current use of bringing back music artists from the grave, is it possible to apply interactivity to it? Could this be applied to video games? What kind of crazy mash-ups could happen by mixing the video game world with the real world? I’ve got a few potential ideas spinning in my head, but I’d love to hear from you. Where do you think video games could go with this type of technology?
