The Future of Hologram Performances
In the context of the existing technological progression, the future of Hologram performances is a bright one. The future for these holographic type performances should improve due to advances in better portable virtual hologram projectors and three dimensional holographic screens.
Another possibility may be the live hologram concerts during which the viewers can react to the virtual artists in an instant. This may cover anything from questioning through answering or even participating in the show, thereby making the experience as unique as the individual since every person in the audience is reached.
