The publicly available tech is already pretty convincing....
That's from 2016. So, the idea that the Pope video this year where he "disappeared" was actually a hologram isn't far fetched.
I had been wondering since the beginning of the "Masks" if Biden was in jail or dead or something. Body doubles have been used by leaders for ages, and it's a LOT easier to find a convincing double if you don't have to do all that much..... forehead, hair, ears, hands, overall body build, and some good makeup artists. Gatherings of less than 50 people? A lot easier to use holograms. Another good use of "Social Distancing," so that the hologram isn't exposed with a handshake. Anything on video only (like the dem convention) very easy to fake. Look at the documentary footage we have of aliens blowing up the White House in 94-
Oh wait, that was a blockbuster summer movie. But many freelance video editors can do effects like that easily now. Even people on Zoom calls can adeptly change their backgrounds and such.
Wow, that first video is pretty wild. I guess the more we rely on the Internet for news the bigger the risk we are just seeing a motion picture. Maybe this is Hollywood's survival plan - start manufacturing video "news" on demand for the highest bidder. The buyer can choose their own "actors" and scripted events and then this whole thing gets broadcasted all over MSM.
