How do Vocaloids works?

[Willinium]

So I was watching an video from Fine Brothers Entertainment, Elders react to Vocaloids, and I saw the vocaloids.

They appear to be anime characters being projected onstage to sing and dance and perform, but how exactly does that work? Are there projectors built into the stage are they holograms used with several cameras or mirrors? How exactly do these things work?

It's a glass plate with a projector behind it. Basically the smame tech as the Gorrillaz used.

As in there's a large glass plate on the stage separating the band and audience and then its projected onto it? With how the characters move and dance around I have to imagine that the glass is several feet thick yes?

Four clues.

1. Projectors, multiple
2. Clear medium, plastic/glass.
3. Fairly primitive, hologram wise
4. Seriously, took me 5 seconds to learn how. [http://lmgtfy.com/?q=vocaloid+hologram]

Yes, there is a glass plate seperating the band and te audience, but no it's not several feet thick. It is rather large across though, from left to right several jards.

The dancing around is mostly projection trickery, and if you're not there but watching it on youtube there will be some clevery camera trickery too.

Huh, well I'll be damned. I must say that this kind of thing is rather amazing to me, taht people are able to create music with what is essentially there own personal musical Idol and then have that be shared with others. This is great! I wonder if i'll be able to find any showings here in Georgia. Damn I guess that SciFi is becoming reality, I am glad this is amazing to me.

A lot of things that came into this world riding on a being called "way too much money" can be rather amazing. For just a few tens of thousands of dollars you could have your own stage with personal musical idol!
