You may have seen CNN’s election night coverage where they beamed in some ‘holograms’ (clip above). Well, it wasn’t really a hologram, but you probably knew that. For it to have really been a hologram, the 3D image would have had to have been projected into space, right there in front of Wolf Biltzer. Instead, he was just looking at nothing but a red dot and a remote video feed was switched in with the on air feed.

What about the blue Star Wars like edge around the image? That was added in by CNN for effect.
