Osaziwayo be-Holographic

Uma ungabuyela emuva futhi uhlangane nanoma yimuphi usaziwayo emlandweni kungaba ngubani? Mhlawumbe ungathanda ukubona ama-Beatles enza bukhoma noma ubukele indoda ephambili ye-Nirvana, u-Kurt Cobain, eqhuma esiteji. Ungase ufune ukudlula u-Marilyn Monroe ngosuku olunomoya noma uchithe usuku uphenya elabhorethri ka-Nicola Tesla.

Uchithe ubusuku obuningi ungalali uzama ukwephula imithetho yefiziksi ukuze wakhe lowo mshini wesikhathi. Ukhiphe i-akhawunti yakho yasebhange ezintweni ezithengiswayo zosaziwayo ukuze usize ekuvukeni kwabo. Hhayi-ke ungalala wonge imali yakho ngoba awusoze wahlangana nalaba osaziwayo. Nokho, Usozigidi waseGreece u-Alki David ingase ibe nento engcono kakhulu elandelayo: amahologram osaziwayo. 

Amahologram osaziwayo asenesikhathi eside ekhona. Ngo-2009, u-Celine Dion wenza i-duet ngehologram ka-Elvis ku-American Idol. Ngo-2012, uTupac wenza ukubonakala e-Coachella. Ngisho no-Michael Jackson wabuyiswa ukuze enze iSigqila Sesigqi sakhe ekhululwe ngemva kokushona kuma-Billboard Music Awards. Eqinisweni, lobu buchwepheshe bukhona kusukela ngawo-1940 lapho busungulwa usosayensi waseHungary, uDennis Gabor.  

Ngentshisekelo ekhulayo kulo mkhuba, u-Alki David waqala inkampani yakhe, i-Hologram USA, ngo-2014 lapho ethenga ilungelo lobunikazi lobuchwepheshe behologram ye-Tupac. 

Lobu buchwepheshe busetshenziswe ikakhulukazi ezindleleni zomculo zokuzijabulisa. Yize abantu bethanda ukubona abaculi ababathandayo bebuyela empilweni, kuthiwani ngamahologram sukuma comedy? 

I-Hologram USA okwamanje ilungiselela i- izinkambo zamahlaya ezibuyayo yezinganekwane ezimbili zamahlaya. Omunye kungu-Redd Foxx, owashona ngo-1991, owaziwa ngendima yakhe eyinkanyezi ku-Sanford and Son. I-Red Fox izokhokhiswa kabili no-Andy Kaufman, ongase umazi kumatekisi, Saturday Night Live kanye Amaphupho amabi kaDavid Letterman. 

Ngakho-ke ungayithola kuphi le mibukiso? U-David unamadili no-Apollo e-Harlem, i-Mohegan Sun e-Connecticut, i-Andy Williams Moon River Theatre e-Branson kanye ne-Saban Theatre e-Los Angeles. Iklabhu yamahlaya e-hologram e-National Comedy Center esenyakatho ne-New York nayo iyavulwa ngonyaka ozayo. Onkulunkulu bamahlaya abafana noGeorge Carlin noJoan Rivers bangakwazi ukufinyelela izethameli ezintsha ezizukulwaneni ezizayo. 

Konke lokhu kukhuluma kosaziwayo abangasekho kungase kukwenze uzizwe ungakhululekile, okusho ukuthi kungene umbuzo wokuziphatha. Ingabe kuwukuziphatha ukubukisa laba saziwayo abangasekho emhlabeni njengonodoli? Asikwazi yini ukuthi laba bantu baphumule ngokuthula?  

Izimiso Zokuziphatha Ezisemuva Kwama-Hologram Osaziwayo 

Njengoba sazi, uma usugqamile, umphakathi usunakho futhi ukungaziwa kungasekho, nangale kwethuna. Kodwa qiniseka ukuthi nakuba lokhu kungase kubonakale kuwukuphucwa imali, abantu abalandela ubuchwepheshe behologram bafuna ukukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke kwenziwa ngothando. 

USamantha Chang, osebenza kwa-CMG Worldwide, uchaza “ukuthi wonke umsebenzi wenziwa ngenhlonipho enkulu ngokuphila nomsebenzi womuntu.” 

Nakuba abanye abantu kungenzeka bagijima bejabule ngokukwazi ukuzwa amazwi kazibuthe kaWhitney Houston bukhoma, ungamane uchithe isikhathi sakho ufunda ngezenzakalo zomhlaba.  

Ungakhathazeki, imboni ye-hologram ayizange ikhohlwe ngawe. Ukuqagela kwe-Hologram ka-Julian Assange, umshayi wezikhwelo odumile, kuze kwasetshenziswa ukuze abonakale e-Nantucket, Mass. ukuze ethule inkulumo.  

Ama-hologram emnothweni 

Akungabazeki ukuthi amahologram ayingxenye yemakethe ekhulayo egcwele ithuba lezomnotho. U-John Textor uthi “lobu buchwepheshe bukunikeza ithuba lokunweba umkhiqizo wakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ushiywe yisikhathi noma uhlala. Ungacula ezindaweni eziningi ngesikhathi esisodwa. Ungakwazi ukudlala ngokumelene nokufana kwakho kwedijithali. Ngomuntu onopopayi, ungaya ku-Coca-Cola bese uthi, ‘Ungathola u-Elvis onegitala ogwini lolwandle’ esikhangisweni sakho — isimo esisha.” 

Ukungqubuzana kweHologram 

Sesivele sinabo ubuchwepheshe, manje yini enkulu? Abagxeki baphikisa ngokuthi ubuchwepheshe obusetshenziswa namuhla akuwona “ihologram” ncamashi. I-Hologram USA isebenzisa indlela eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Pepper’s Ghost, esebenzisa ingilazi ene-engeli ukuze iveze umfanekiso osobala, obonakala uyi-3D wento efihliwe ezithamelini.  

U-Jim Steinmeyer, umklami ohlonishwayo wemilingo nemithelela ekhethekile, uchaza ukuthi “Ihologram iyisithombe esinezinhlangothi ezintathu esakhiwe kusetshenziswa ukukhanya kwe-laser futhi angazi noma ubani embonini yezokuzijabulisa osebenzisa lezo.” Akaphikisi ukuthi ama-Hologram akhona. Uma uzokhipha ilayisensi yakho yokushayela kukhona ihologram lapho, kodwa mayelana noTupac no-Elvis? “Lawo akuwona ama-hologram,” kusho uSteinmeyer, “awuhlobo oluphambili lweqhinga leminyaka engu-153 ubudala.” 

Ngakho-ke iHologram USA iwakhipha kanjani "amahologram" ayo? Ubuchwepheshe babo busebenzisa i-foil ekhanyayo njengendawo ekhanyayo esikhundleni sengilazi, okuvumela isithombe ukuthi sinyakaze ngaphandle komthungo esiteji. Ngakho, ngokuyisisekelo, sibona into engu-2D ebukeka njengesithombe se-3D. 

Ngakho-ke sizoba nini namahologram “angempela”?  

“Inkinga isikali nokunyakaza,” kusho usosayensi u-V. Michael Bove, inhloko ye-MIT Media Lab’s Object-Based Media Group kanye nochwepheshe be-holoography. “Ungenza ihologram encane, emile kalula. Ukuze wenze enkulu ehambayo, udinga amalaser ombala anamandla, udinga ukumodela kwe-3-D futhi udinga ukwazi ukuthatha izithombe zayo ezingama-24 kuye kwezingama-30 ngomzuzwana. Futhi ubonisani izithombe ngaphandle? Akunakwenzeka futhi kuyabiza, futhi siseyindlela yokwenza lokho kufinyeleleke ngempela. ”
