If not a day goes by without people talking about AI, it is because the applications of artificial intelligence are increasingly surprising, and scary: how else to define the dystopian concert of a Elvis Presley transformed into a hologram and working thanks toTOWARD?
If it looks like a scene from Blade Runner 2049 It’s because it is: a British company wants to make Denis Villeneuve’s cyberpunk hallucination a reality. We will have to wait November 2024when the show promised by Layered reality will be presented in London. Las Vegas, Berlin and Tokyo will follow.
There performanceOf the name Evolution of Elvis, will take viewers through the history of the King of Rock and Roll and the climax will be an actual live performance, or something, during which a digital Elvis will perform the hits and replicate the moves that made his counterpart immortal. in flesh. and blood. This is the result that the manufacturing company set out to achieve, using hologram technology, but also video mapping AND augmented reality.
“Through artificial intelligence and revolutionary technology, you will be able to witness Elvis Presley’s iconic performances as if you were really there and celebrate the defining moments of Elvis Presley’s extraordinary life and career,” reads a description of the show that Layered Reality is organizing.
The Internet reacted in its own way, that is, with a cascade of memes and quotes, for example the scene of Blade Runner 2049 in which Elvis actually appears in hologram form. You can find the video below.
Of course, the hologram won’t be alone in this growing pantheon of alter egos made of light: the transition to digital was recently announced by Kisswho passed the baton to their avatars at the end of the last concert.
I watch movies and play video games, from a certain point in life I also started writing about them. I am fascinated by the hidden corners of the Internet, the graphics of the first 3D video games and the images that fall under the vaguely defined umbrella of the term aesthetics, with respect to which I carry out a compulsive cataloging activity whose arrival point is some profiles of Instagram. However, the television series with the best aesthetics (and the best overall) is The . Same with Evangelion (the manga).
