# Tweet-Controlled Holograms The 'Almost Human' Droid Responded to Social Media Requests By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-05-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/almost-human References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/05/almost-human-twitter-controlled-android.html) & [fox](http://www.fox.com/almost-human/) To kick off the launch of the Almost Human TV show on [FOX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fox-one) in the UK, a [holographic android](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animaview) was set up on a stage to perform audience requests that came in the form of tweets. The stunt was set up in a shop window with instructions on how to interact with the droid, which attracted a lot of attention. Tweeting to @droiddothis would have the "almost human" droid break dance, do the funky chicken or roar like a tiger. Unfortunately, as much as the future of [interactive human-droids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-world-labs) is near, it's not quite as advanced as what you might see on the Almost Human show. The Joint agency stunt actually involved an actor that was performing these actions, which was then live edited and projected onto a mesh to give the illusion of a hologram. Either way, it was still a winning way to grab people's attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 73% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Holographic Performances:** Using social media channels to engage audience participation with interactive holographic performances can enhance brand engagement and entertainment experiences. - **Real-time Audience Requests Integration:** Incorporating real-time audience requests to holographic performances can provide a unique and personalized experience and differentiate the product offerings. - **Live Editing and Projection Technology:** Innovations in live editing and projection technology can enable realistic and seamless visual holographic content, improving the quality of the experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** Media and entertainment industries can create interactive and immersive content using holographic technology to enhance audience engagement. - **Advertising:** Advertising industry can leverage holographic technology to produce cutting-edge, attention-grabbing and innovative campaigns for their brands. - **Concerts:** Concerts and music festivals can explore interactive holographic performances to revolutionize the live music experience and engagement with the audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Festive Humanoid Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmnd-01.md) - [Interactive Hologram Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-comic-con.md) - [AI-Powered Customer Service Humanoids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-humanoid-robot.md) - [Meeting-Enhanced 3D Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holobox.md) - [Immersive Holographic Zoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hologram-zoo.md) - [Real Life Cinematic Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g1t4m1n1-droid.md) - [Holographic Video Game Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protohologram.md) - [Hyper-Realistic Holograms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solidlight.md) - [Dedicated Social Media Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twitter-3d-gadget.md)
