Back to the subject of the bump, the “holograms” referred to are a singularly unimpressive technology: It’s basically just projection onto a screen, except the screen is partly transparent so it’s not noticeable except where the projection is.

It’s barely technology at all; Pepper’s Ghost has been around for what? A couple of centuries, at least? It’s the same thing that makes the ghosts appear in Disney’s Haunted Mansion.

?? They do it with mirrors. Or at least they used to.

Which makes these “holographic concerts” even less impressive. Pepper’s Ghost (which, yes, they do with mirrors) is 3-dimensional, but these concerts are 2-d.
