Hologram USA Theater Featured on CBS News

Hollywood, CA, Jan. 31, 2018 -- The Hologram USA Theater was featured on CBS News’ Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley, with tech correspondent David Pogue watching the theater’s hit Billie Holiday hologram show, petting virtual tigers and elephants, and even turning himself into a hologram for an interview with Hologram USA Founder and CEO Alki David.

The Hologram USA Theater--the first dedicated full-time hologram theater in the world--opened on Hollywood Boulevard late last year, just one block from the Egyptian Theater and other major attractions. The opening show is Billie Holiday, singing all the songs you expect from “Lady Sings the Blues” to the haunting protest song “Strange Fruit.”  The presence of the holographic Holiday has been praised by her estate, the Wall Street Journal, and audiences alike. The theater has had to expand the amount of daily showings twice as demand swells.  Alki David and Hologram USA own the patents to the only life-like, high definition  hologram presentation technology--the one that was used to project the famous Tupac Shakur hologram at Coachella.

After dancing on stage with the hologram Black Eyed Peas, Pogue explored the serious side of hologram telepresence, which Hologram USA has used to beam Jack Black to Barcelona, Julian Assange to Nantucket, rapper Chief Keef to Chicago where he’d been banned,  Jimmy Kimmel to Nashville, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India to 100’s of simultaneous town halls during the campaign he won in 2015.  “This technology could really change the world!” Pogue said.

Pogue reported that David plans to install his hologram technology in 150 more theaters over the next 18 months, with sites already underway in Chicago, Indianapolis and Foxwoods, CT. The network of theaters will distribute Hologram USA exclusive content and allow artists, influencers, comedians and motivational speakers to appear and interact with audiences in multiple cities at once. The next show Hologram USA will debut on Hollywood Boulevard is the life and times of R&B star Jackie Wilson in March. The company is also launching live hologram boxing and MMA events.
