I saw the Coachella Tupac "hologram" - it was just a video that got played on a slanted piece of glass for one verse of a song. It was cool the first time as a surprise but no real longevity.

My reading/understanding is this is virtual avatars that use performance capture and extend that with AI to put on a performance more than just a recorded video - I'd expect variations across performances and potentially some kind of interactivity with the crowd. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of this and how it compares as bands I follow/like start to adopt it (and who gets the money).
