Hatsune Miku is now INSIDE a computer.
By Kellen Beck on
Throwing LED lights into your custom-built gaming PC just doesn't cut it anymore. You gotta outfit it with a see-through screen that makes it look like it has holograms inside of it.

Installing a transparent LCD monitor on the side of a PC that plays a video of the fictional, anime-esque singer Hatsune Miku, the modder made it appear like she's a hologram dancing inside the PC.

It's a very impressive visual trick, and with the stage-like setup inside the PC, it looks pretty convincing.

The Hatsune Miku hologram PC has been a work in progress for a few months. An earlier version of the PC from July featured a transparent screen with the singer dancing on it, but the screen was a bit more obvious and the lack of stage made it less convincing.
Of course, if you can get your hands on a transparent LCD monitor for your own custom PC, you can put whatever video you want on it. The possibilities are endless.
