CNN 's election coverage in 2008 was the most-watched prime-time event ever.
Holograms of Jessica Yellin and Black Eyed Peas front man will.i.am were beamed into the network’s New York studio in “hologram” form.
David Bohrman , a cable news tech pioneer, drew inspiration from Star Wars to create the holograms.
Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am was interviewed via hologram on election night 2008 .
The effect had to look like a hologram, and it had to remind you of Princess Leia in Star Wars when she’s transferred through hologram.
CNN 's David Odell : "It was more of a contraption than an invention. It was everything out of the bag of tricks just crammed together".
CNN 's Multi-Touch Collaboration Wall technology allows anchors to interact in real time with voting data, electoral maps, polling results.
Bohrman was a visionary, but the most important part of his vision was that he was not afraid to take risks.
The Magic Wall is now an extremely valuable tool, especially in the hands of John King , who had the skills to make it valuable for viewers.
