Elvis Presley is about to return to the stage in hologram version. The Elvis Evolution project, presented as “immersive concert experience”which uses Artificial Intelligence and holographic projection, will premiere in London in November. Additional shows are also planned in Las Vegas, Tokyo and Berlin.
This show was created from thousands of the artist’s personal photographs and home videos, which were part of an agreement between Authentic Brands Group, owner of Elvis Presley’s assets, and Layered Reality, a British immersive entertainment company. A life-size digital Elvis will be shown performing the iconic songs.
