See-through superstars

Following the recent reanimation of Tupac Shakur in holographic form, more of the departed are being prepped for reappearance.

Digital Domain Media Group - who created the Tupac hologram - are reportedly working on a series of virtual Elvises for various entertainment projects.

Meanwhile, Jeff Jampol, who manages the estate of former Doors frontman Jim Morrison, has been working on a multimedia experience featuring a holographic Jim, that he says will hopefully be able "walk right up to you, look you in the eye, sing right at you and then turn around and walk away."

What do YOU make of the ressurection trend? Would you pay to see virtual versions of heroes?
