Elvis experience costing up to £300 branded 'atrocious and misleading'
Sounds like it was originally marketed as an immersive hologram experience, to be compared to the ABBA show, but in the end was not. Doesn't really help that that BBC story is still linking to the original marketing: Experiencing the AI hologram of Elvis Presley is less like Abba Voyage and more like time travel, according to the man whose company created it.
Andrew McGuinness, from Harpenden, Hertfordshire, founded Layered Reality who created the Elvis Evolution show.
He said: "You're going to be stepping in to intricate sets that make you feel like you've time travelled."
At the end of the experience, visitors watch a performance of an AI powered holographic Elvis in an intimate space.
The Elvis Estate provided Layered Reality with thousands of hours of live footage, home video and still images of the King.
He added: "The AI generates an authentic version of Elvis, born of original material, but it [also] allows you to do new things with him."
It doesn't sound like people who attended feel like they time travelled.
Speaking of poor, Trooli are sorry to see me go, sorry to hear I have cancelled my broadband with them. I don't have to pay up to October though, I was right originally, I'm just on a rolling monthly thing. EE (the new broadband provider) would have covered the costs of buying me out of the contract anyway but it's nice not to have to stump up that money in advance.
Ooh a lot of rain here.
Thundery showers and a moderate breeze, 14 - 21℃.
