New Delhi: Punjabi music superstar Sidhu Moosewala (Shubhdeep Singh) was murdered in Punjab on 29 May 2022. His death shocked the entire country, but his songs and voice are still alive in millions of hearts.
Now with the help of technology, his fans are getting a chance to see him on stage again. His hologram based world tour named ‘Signed to God World Tour’ is going to start in 2026. This is the first big tour where Sidhu’s 3D hologram will perform live.
The teaser created a stir
The teaser video released from Sidhu’s official Instagram account created a stir on social media. It has been told on the website signedtogod.world that this tour will take place in 8 countries like India, Canada, America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, UAE and Pakistan.
Each show will showcase his original songs, voice and energy with 3D holographic projections, cinematic visuals and stage effects. Fans will feel as if Sidhu is really on stage.
Many shows happened even before hologram technology
This is not a new thing. Before hologram technology, ‘live’ shows of many big artists had taken place. Such as: Tupac Shakur’s 2012 Coachella Festival performance, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Roy Orbison’s hologram concerts. In all this, the old footage and modern technology were amazing. This tour of Sidhu is also an emotional effort to keep his legacy alive.
How does hologram technology work?
A hologram creates a 3D image that appears to float in air. It consists of several steps:
- Archive footage and motion capture: Old videos, photos and movements of the artist are captured.
- CGI and 3D Modeling: Real-size 3D image is created by computer.
- Pepper’s Ghost Illusion: This is a classic technique. Transparent screen and special lighting are used in this. The light reflects and creates 3D figures on the stage.
- Lighting, Sound and Sync: With laser lights, spatial audio and synchronized effects, the entire atmosphere becomes like a concert.
The laser beam is divided into two parts, one is the reference beam and the other is the object beam. Together these two create an interference pattern, which is recorded. Later, the same pattern is played again with light and a 3D image is shown.
