VIDEO: CNN's holographic Star Wars trip takes Net by storm

I wake up today and everyone is talking about CNN's holographic live shot capability.  Just like how Princess Leia sent her distress signal in Star Wars. READ ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Here is Anderson Cooper interviewing Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas. WATCH
And being the Internet, there are already parody videos. Slate gets funny with Wolf Blitzer. WATCH

I actually blogged about this technology back in June.  Is it just me, or does Anderson Cooper look slightly embarrassed at the first part of this interview?  What blue blood talks to a hologram?
