The performance saved 15 tons of carbon dioxide, which would have been generated by Charles if he and his staff took the flight to Abu-Dhabi.
The hologram is based on a 19th century trick, called Pepper's ghost. The five-minute video, recorded about a month ago, was beamed onto a film set to create Charles' 3-D image.

Well, environmentally speaking, that's a great idea! Here's how the Pepper's ghost illusion works (spoiler). -
That's so cool. From the video (on the right) it looks much better than I thought. They're talking about making live holograms, so as the footage is filmed it can be projected on other sides of the world. That's pretty impressive.
I'd love to see massive sports events like the World Cup Final recreated in football stadiums with holograms around the world, so you could watch the match 'live' in stadiums rather than on a flat TV.
