Yo, VPTurner, how did they do this?

No, I don't mean how did they convince all those people to pay money to watch a cartoon "perform". How does this hologram work? And when will it be in my living room? And lastly, when will I get my holodeck?

Thanks.

The live show is a simple rear projection onto a sheet of translucent film.

Got a translator handy?

You can see it clearly here:

Food for thought:

Haven't seen the live performance, but it's possible that it's a lenticular screen running autostereoscopic. In the shot above, you can see two projection sources behind the screen. I saw something at the Luxor in Vegas a long time ago presented by Kodak where part of the set was an autostereoscopic screen. Would've been a neat effect if the film wasn't scratched.

Ah, man. I thought it was a real hologram. Still, though, what's the ETA on that holodeck?

Edit: No, scratch that. I'm seeing the audience reflected in the film. It's all rear projection.

That cracked article nailed it. I would LIVE in my holodeck. That second article is way over my head; I'll just trust that they're working on it.

Same principal here, just larger scale at the concerts:
