Pam Cronrath, 78, of Wenatchee, Washington, created a life-size hologram of her late husband Bill using Proto Hologram and Hyperreal companies for his memorial service. After nearly 60 years of marriage, she fulfilled her promise of a 'super wake' using technology she first encountered at a medical conference years earlier. The final cost was 10-15 times her original $2,000 budget. Around 200 attendees witnessed the hologram deliver a scripted speech and participate in a Q&A session, with some believing the interaction was live.
