The legendary rapper, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996, was projected via hologram to perform a set with the two contemporary hip-hop celebrities. The holographic projection, designed by immersive technology company AV Concepts, used a combination of found footage and computer-generated animation to produce a likeness of the rap martyr. Shakur performed \u201cHail Mary\u201d and \u201c2 of Amerika\u2019z Most Wanted.\u201d Attendees reported that the most jarring moment of the performance was when the hologram greeted the audience with a casual, \u201cWhat\u2019s up Coachella?\u201d The real Tupac died two years before the first Coachella music festival was even organized.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1402\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1402 alignnone\" title=\"Tupac Shakur, a digital projection\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"464\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.png 828w, https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-768x430.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>The holographic projection of late rapper Tupac at Coachella 2012.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>AV Concepts has designed similar works of integrative technology for Chris Brown\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prlog.org\/11797762-lasers-light-up-the-stage-for-rihanna-chris-brown-david-guetta-and-lil-wayne-at-the-2012-grammys.html\">multi-level stage<\/a> during the 54<sup>th<\/sup> Annual Grammy\u2019s, and\u00a0Kelly Osbourne&#8217;s pink <a href=\"https:\/\/article.wn.com\/view\/2011\/10\/11\/AV_Concepts_and_Kelly_Osbourne_Turn_the_San_Diego_Hard_Rock_\/\">transformation<\/a> of a Hard Rock Hotel\u00a0for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. But this technology has the power to be more than just a surreal crowd-pleaser. This three-dimensional imaging system has been identified as a potential game-changer in the traffic sign industry.<\/p>\n<p>In Russia, physicists have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.russia-ic.com\/news\/show\/10825#.T426xrOXvpU\">suggested<\/a> the use of holographic speed limit signs to attract drivers\u2019 attention. Flashy billboards and advertisements often oversaturate roads with information and images. Such <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/blog\/distracted-driving-putting-texting-in-safer-context\/\">roadside distractions<\/a> often impede drivers\u2019 adherence to traffic regulations. Physicists in support of this technologically advanced signage system argue that holograms are more likely to draw the attention of drivers whose visual sensibilities are already hyper-stimulated, due to their three-dimensional capabilities and bright displays. Iridescent holograms, with the capacity to be viewed from anywhere between 1\u00b0 and 180\u00b0, have the ability to contain several messages that are visible from different angles. The bold signs can also be programmed to shine brighter or blink when vehicles are approaching.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/12.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1415\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1415\" title=\"Holographic Street Sign\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/12.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"327\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/12.png 327w, https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.myparkingsign.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/12-300x298.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A futuristic interpretation of <\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2008\/04\/21\/cant-cross-a-virtual-wall\/\">holographic street signs<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Another perk of electronic traffic signs in general is their ability to respond to specific events in a tailored, specially programmed fashion. For example, a regular stop sign can never know where pedestrians or vehicles are on the road at any given time. However, a programmable sign could warn drivers of children crossing the road up ahead and children of drivers approaching at a high speed. The holographic element of such a reactive piece of signage just adds to its visibility to foot and car traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think it\u2019s wise to give signs that much personalized power?
