I've seen a couple of videos this week which hint at a fascinating new mixture of live stage performance and visual effects techniques. Check them out:

Can't wait to see where some of this stuff goes, as it becomes progressively more affordable. Holodeck, anybody?

Holy cats, that is unbelievable...

Totally dig it. I think it's pretty awesome.

As has been pointed out elsewhere, the potential for live stage shows with this kinda stuff is a little limited, as it's dependent on the camera angle. However, combine this with an Oculus Rift for everybody and then you're talking....
In fact, this basically is where 3D as a concept becomes valid. Not in crappy, fixed perspective, pre-rendered 3D movies. -
Yeah I definitely agree that ol sonuf vaoresaji, gohu IAD balata, elanusaha caelazoid:sobrazod-ol Roray i ta nazodapesad, giraa ta maelpereji, das hoel-qo qaa notahoa zodimezod, od comemahe ta nobeloha zoiden; soba tahil ginonupe pereje aladi, das vaurebes obolehe giresam.HAIL SATAN

We can have all the tools in the world available to us, but it is the ingenuity of the human mind which unleashes the real power of them. Awe-inspiring.

I love the fact that they left the robot noises in the video - superb....
