San Diego-based AV Concepts staged the hologram’s performance using a variation of an old effect called Pepper’s Ghost. The technique was first used in an 1862 dramatization of Charles Dickens’ The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain, employing an angled piece of glass to reflect a “ghostly” image of an offstage actor. In Tupac’s case, the computer generated image was projected onto a highly reflective piece of Mylar stretched on a clear frame. AV Concepts has used similar visual magic before, for Madonna, the Gorillaz, Celine Dion, and the Black Eyed Peas. The company has also used the technology to resurrect dead CEOs for corporate events.
