Weird Star Trek/Star Wars Moment Last Night

So, while I was flipping between CNN and MSNBC last night (I don't TOUCH Fox Noise), I experienced a really strange Science Fiction moment while watching CNN.

The anchor, I think it was Anderson Cooper, had Will.I.Am (you know, the guy who recorded the "Yes, We Can" video) on for an interview. Only he wasn't at the studio. Nor was he on screen speaking from Grant Park in Chicago. He was a hologram. A full, three dimensional, life-sized hologram. The resolution was fantastic, though there was a bit of a shimmer surrounding him, as though he were beaming on a Star Trek teleporter.

Really weird, but extremely cool!
