Critics pan CNN’s fake election holograms

"The CNN hologram during the US presidential election bought the news network a wave of positive publicity.
But the fizz has gone out of the much-vaunted new technology as bloggers and hologram experts lined up today to point out that the holograms were, in fact, not really holograms."
"There was no live, glowing 3-D picture that people could walk around," wrote analyst Sascha Segan.
"The 'image' of Jessica Yellin and Wolf Blitzer standing in the same room existed only on TV screens."
