Amazing holograph!!!!!! Watch this!

[fat tom]

A forum friend sent this to me in an e-mail recently and I can't stop watching it. We never had anything like this at school assemblies when I was a kid! Turn up the volume.

It's a cool effect, but it didn't happen. This is a promotional video for a tech startup that shows what type of technology they want to develop, not what they're currently able to do.

In other words, a hologram whale didn't really jump through a gymnasium floor as amazed children looked on — the video was edited to showcase the technology the company, Magic Leap, hopes to develop.

I think one could have a lot of fun with something like that. I hope they can make it work.

Man that is something...when I was in high school we weren't allowed to walk on the gym floor in dress shoes!

 

[SAFireman]

Wow! and all we had were crappy VHS tapes, and some left over films from the 1950's about duck and cover

I hope that it works our for them, it looks very neat.

Oh come on now, it has to be true. I saw it on FaceBook!

I thought the kids seemed to take it too casually for it to be real ... either that or kids are so sophisticated these days something like that is not really a surprise to them.

I recall that in the early days of moving pictures, a movie of a train coming at the audience made people duck or jump out of the way. That was the story anyways. Probably extremely exaggerated if true at all, but it makes a good story. Here is a recreation:

Absolutely true! And Tom Hanks got the Medal of Honor from President Johnson.

However it was done it is pretty cool!

 

[Tom K]

But this is real, right?

 

[wuluf]

Not as cool as film strips but not bad..

 

[Targets Guy]

They are going to need a new gym floor.

THANKS to p.e.t.a, that's the only way you will get to see Whales (and Elephants) perform. Barnum and Baileys Circus is closing after at least 150 years in business-thanks to the insane who are in p.e.t.a.

Those younger than 40 or so most likely have little or no experience with film strips and 16 MM movies which were still quite popular in our small public schools through the 1980's.

Many hours listening to a terrible cassette recording with the obligatory "BEEP" telling the chosen student to advance the film strip in the projector to the next, dirty, faded frame. 'The fascinating life of the dung beetle BEEP -The dung beetle feeds mainly on- BEEP Dung -on the forest floor- BEEP These amazing insects live only in this region BEEP......

Worse were the full school assemblies in the gym where a thirty year old, horribly faded, many times spliced educational 'movie' was projected on the 10 foot by 12 foot pull down screen. The old, magnetic soundtrack would have more dropouts than a high school in the ghetto. Plus, the film would jump sprockets when a bad splice came through and you would be seeing the bottom half of one frame and the top of another. Ah, the good old days.

Do kids get to go on field trips anymore? I remember trips to museums, power plants, the Coca-Cola Bottling facility, a dairy, a bakery, fine arts theaters, the Federal Courthouse, the now defunct Houston Post newspaper, and more. At the Houston Post I saw a FAX machine. This was probably around 1970 and Fax machines were unheard of. And yes, I'm a French model.

I remember going to concerts at the old coliseum downtown.
Don't like that kind of music now any more than I did then.

Concerts in the Sam Houston Coliseum. That makes you a few years older than me. It was symphony and opera in the new Jones Hall for me. My memories of the Coliseum are non-school family events... the Shrine Circus, Icecopades, Livestock Show and Rodeo (shook Roy Rodger's hand), and a gun show in the late 1980s when I bought a Beretta 92 FS (Italian made). Years back I was called for Federal jury service. Sitting in the courtroom during voir dire, I recalled having been in the same courtroom on a field trip decades earlier. It was a gun case, and the only trial where I personally feel I should have been selected for the jury.

Yes, Him and Dale would ride the outer perimeter of the arena at the close of the show. I had my hand out and Buttermilk, Dale's horse, bit it! I remember it hurt pretty good for a few hours. About 1958 I think.
I too, vaguely remember the Coliseum gun show.
