     @slash@pl.starnix.network Yes, Miku is on TV now what this is mainstream news so it's not like they know what the fuck they are talking about.

     @SuperDicq I'm not able to read it, so I was just drawing conclusions based on the images accompanying the story. A friend in ireland just saw miku very recently and I imagine if she'd been in holo form at that show I'dve found out pretty quick.

     @slash@pl.starnix.network Projecting Miku like a hologram isn't super high tech sophisticated tho. It's actually just a really old and clever theater trick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper's_ghost
     
     I'm going to see Miku in Dusseldorf this Friday. I know, I'm Dutch, but I do not like going to Amsterdam so I decided to go to Dusseldorf instead (it's about the same travel time from where I live anyway).

     @slash@pl.starnix.network And yeah I do agree not projecting Miku like a hologram is a bit cheap, but I'm sure modern LEDs screens are good enough to make the illusion look convincing enough in person.
     
     And honestly I mostly just care about the music and cosplays anyway.

     @SuperDicq I think it's less about the expense and more about the novelty- we stare at screens every day, so less inherent novelty and it is a bit sad to see that style gone (at least for now). I'm sure it'll still be quite a fun show though, have fun.

     @slash@pl.starnix.network Yeah, I'm mostly disappointed in the fact that they refuse to listen to fans and can't seem to do the basic things that literally any Vocaloid fan wants.
     
     Personally if I was a music artist I would've definitely stopped using Vocaloid at this point and I would've just switched to OpenUTAU.
     
     But yeah a Miku show is a Miku show after all, can't resist buying a ticket.

     @slash@pl.starnix.network OpenUTAU is most sophisticated free software implementation that I know of.

     @SuperDicq I hadn't heard of OpenUTAU, the only competitors I'd heard of were Neutrino and Voicepeak.
