omg greatest idea ever. hologram mlp's

[appledan20% 6]

like they did tupac. they should make mlp holograms that would be sooooooooo amazing. and it would be so realistic are minds wouldnt know how to react. emotions would run high. what are your thoughts 

[~Squishy Skies~ 757]

Ummm. It would be cool. I guess. Maybe. I'd rather just have a plush, or some other physical relic, but holograms are pretty cool 'n' stuff.

I'd have to say that it probably won't work... A hologram (Autostereoscopic projection) requires a lot of designing, and the entire thing would REEK of uncanny valley.

does any company make a good plush id like to get one that would be cool. as long as they dont look like the ponies fron mlp live

I'm still looking for a show-accurate Fluttershy plushie. Haven't had too much luck, but I'm not giving up on my search just yet! I will continue on my journey until I have a Fluttershy to cuddle with! THIS I SWEAR.

Is this really such a great idea? I'm a bit doubtful.

 

MLPonies aren't like real humans in that they're supposed to be flat. In real life, the ponies would look very strange. As another poster mentioned, the ponies would easily cross into the uncanny valley. I'm not sure if I want to see ponies in three dimensions.

 

Furthermore, rather than projecting a person, a hologram of a MLPony would require computer models. Even the most realistic models are still a far cry from reality itself, and it certainly wouldn't help the uncanny valley aspect of 3D ponies. 

 

Besides, what would be the use of holographic ponies? A 3D concert with MLP songs could work, as would an episode featuring 3D ponies (both of which would require computer models), but I have doubts about the economic practicality of these tasks. They just wouldn't be worth the costs. And Star Trek-style holodecks are still out of reach.

 

Personally, I'd prefer augmented reality glasses that project 2D ponies into the environment. We wouldn't have to deal with the uncanny valley, and we wouldn't have to deal with the limitations of hologram technology. And we get to see something like this:

I think we'd be better off sticking to those 3-D/ 4-D roller coaster movie rides. I think that would be interesting. Holographic ponies seem way to far fetched and out of our technological range.

 

Unless som random aliens decided to come to Earth and give us said technology.

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

Actually if you can get a decent 3d modeler person guy to come in you could probably get some good looking ponies that would be radical in hologram form.

So it's 2024. Do we have hologram ponies yet?

[Azure Dawn 233]

Maybe ten more years...

[Iforgotmybrain 8,244]

No holograms . But maybe we'll have virtual reality ponies at some point in the near future.
