William Gibson, truly a prophet.

Sorry, I just learnt this 1600% slower.

holy fuck that second video makes me want to kill KILL KILL that is so annoying.

apparently it's using yamaha vocaloid (voice synth), the singing is all programmed. pretty impressive imo.

still want to kill it with fire though.

you can't kill it with fire....it's a hologram.

burn the whole building down

Still more real than Hannah Montana.

I like it... I also want to dig my eardrums out.

gorillaz?

gorillaz was 2d projected onto a screen right?

i'm not sure...

The animation on those things is creepy. I assume it's mo'capped, even if it's not it's too realistic for such stylized characters.

Also this reminds me of Macross Plus.

Nice... Gibson is coming to Ottawa in a few days to sign books.
