Trying to fight against the public perception of what a hologram is, is like trying to swim upstream against a tsunami.

Anyway, it's a wonder that the "holographic" tornado (at 1:08) didn't muss their "holographic" hair!

Oh no, I wasn't trying to fight the public perception of the word 'hologram'. I've long since accepted the inevitable!

The point I was trying to make is that a fashion show is supposed to be the showing off of some fashion designers clothes. As such, the models walk on the catwalk, wearing said designers clothes. The audience then appreciates (or not) the designers concepts. But, if you can have a hologram showing off these designer's ideas - a virtual model - and being able to literally change clothes in milliseconds, how's the audience supposed to appreciate anything? The audience is not there to see a fashion designer's ideas, they're there to be part of a mass delusion. They're as 'holographic' as the 'holograms' on the catwalk!

This whole "holographic fashion show" is simply exploiting two ideas: The apparent fascination that the public has with the word "hologram" and a lot of pretty people prancing about. The Great Teeming Masses can now justify titillation by association with science in the form of holography! What's next I wonder, holographic pole dancing? Maybe the pole will have equations on it!

The funny thing is: holographers themselves seem to see no benefit in all this "holography mania".

Not sure what you mean, Danny. What's the significance of 2^(31) or so? In decimal, that comes to 2147483648, and I'm afraid I still don't see the significance. I thought it might refer to a period in history. So, 2^(31) comes to 35791394 seconds or 596523 hours or 24855 days or 68.05 years or roughly 1944. Battle of the Bulge? invasion of Normandy? Maybe all those extra numbers will come out to 1947 when Gabor wrote his paper? It can't be the Eddington number, this is 10^(79). Sorry, can't see the significance of this number.

What blue pill? What's a "blue pill"? There are pills to make you sad?? Are there yellow pills to make you happy?

It's a reference to the movie "The Matrix."
