I saw a brief piece on television showing the late Michael Jackson appearing as a hologram.

Can someone please explain to me how this works - and does it recreate a realistic three dimensional representation? Is this process likely to be used in the future to make films?
I have a fascination.

Re: Holograms
Donald, I went to the little Google window on my browser, typed in "How do Holograms work?" and hit return. The Google search found 2,720,000 articles -- an approximation, I'm sure.

Re: Holograms
Apart from Bob's wonderfully intellectual post which only goes to prove that he must have gone to University and received a PhD - and of course for which I thank him; I wonder if anyone could elaborate further on the process as I don't think it actually comes under the heading of "holography" per se, moreover it is a modified and very much a state of the art "Pepper's Ghost" like effect.
Much thankings.

Re: Holograms - or a similar process
The Michael Jackson thing you saw is a very elaborate "Peppers Ghost" magic effect done with animation, projectors, mirrors, and has nothing to do with Holograms.
Re: Holograms - or a similar process
Science aside, wasn't the Michael Jackson thing done at least partly with an impersonator? It's not a return from the dead as some rabid fans had hoped.....
