Prince is not doing this yet... but I wanted to put the idea out there..

in case "Skippy Skips By".

"THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE"... BATMAN.

PRINCE WOULD BE THE FIRST to do this! Ground Breaking...

The Holographic Prince Concert, right in your home... would be a great idea!

Imagine Prince at Paisley Park...

"Doing a concert in his own place, with guest other artists or alone!"

You would pay a membership or fee, pay per fee.

I am a computer engineer and had to share this... the video is an authorized share video, so no agreement has been broken. (via ICP - company).

[Snip spam - luv4u]

You would be able to sit comfortably in a chair, stand and dance or what have you... all the while a hologram concert right in front of you.

Invite your friends to watch and have a Purple Party...

Just a concept but would be super cute!

Take care,

In Star Wars...

R2D2 relayed a "distress message of Princess Leiah" in which she said, holographically,

"Help us OBOne, your our only hope".

That rocked...

Everybody knows it... every body knows that scene.

Well, watching a hologram is significantly different then a flat screen HD, or even 3D TV (where you have to wear head gear or glasses to view) and it is on an individual basis with that head gear on... for each person;

Whereas, larger than life in a holograph, especially, if it is in your own home without head or eye gear would leave freedom to DANCE around, if you wanted too...and everyone can say, "did you see him just hit that note, or play that" while viewing it LIVE from his Paisley Park - This IS THE HUGE DIFFERENCE.

About the Fee, I didn't say a HUGE fee that would build ROME, a small fee, so he could broadcast it... it would support the fees - he would incur, staff, artists etc...etc...etc...

Thank you.

Take care,

Love4a1000yrs.

"animated and simulated in Maya, rendered with Mental Ray and composited with After Effects and Nuke"

can you explain to me how light will be made to reflect off of thin air? this is all CGI!

I'm more of a Trekkie than Star wars freak but is it no spelled Obi-Wan? Plus I couldn't be held responsible for my actions of there were a full sized Prince hologram in my livingroom.

I swear as Jehovah my witness I was gonna quote the exact same thing!

Holographic concerts great. I don't have a room the size of a stadium stage though, so they'd have to do the real performance in a living room size space, otherwise I'd have Morris Hayes projecting himself 4 doors down.

Aye, if they can fit the whole band to play on my coffee table then that would be ok. Like Action Man size figures.

But sod this paying a fee shite, though I would consider it if there was a free t-shirt thrown in.

Aye, but u do know ur t-shirt wud only b a hologram?

Well ....... Nah, even I'm not that low.

To get the full concert experience, I'd sit in the other room so I could just about see the virtual stage through the door and barely make P out throughout the entire show.

Also, I'd sit there for a few hours before the show started, getting up only to go to the toilet (which I'd prepare with urine puddles on the floor and lots of toilet paper blocking the bowl), and going to the kitchen and charging myself enormously high amounts of money for warm beer and tasteless junk food.

Have some dodgy bloke stood outside your house selling knock off t-shirts too.

PRINCE TALKS

BY NEAL KARLEN

Does it bother you when people say you're going back in time with 'Around the World in a Day'?

No. What they say is that the Beatles are the influence. The influence wasn't the Beatles. They were great for what they did, but I don't know how that would hang today. The cover art came about because I thought people were tired of looking at me. Who wants another picture of him? I would only want so many pictures of my woman, then I would want the real thing. What would be a little more happening than just another picture [laughs] would be if there was some way I could materialize in people's cribs when they play the record.
