An Amy Winehouse hologram concert may be in the works, but first some hologram lawsuits must be settled.
Alki David is the exclusive owner of Musion Eyeliner’s patented technology that uses a system to project three-dimensional images known as holograms. Musion Eyeliner did the memorable hologram of Tupac Shakur for a performance with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at the Coachella Music Festival in 2012.
David has big plans to do an Amy Winehouse hologram concert, but is currently suing the Cirque de Soleil’s Michael Jackson: One performance in Las Vegas for using a hologram of Michael Jackson at the end of the show while not having a valid license to use that technology.
“Although it has been widely acknowledged that Defendants employ the technology to create a three-dimensional hologram of Michael Jackson in Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson: One, Defendants do not possess a valid license to practice that technology.”
David claims the Cirque de Soleil show in Vegas is an infringement on patents held by Musion and wants to make sure this lawsuit is settled so he can go forward with creating a hologram performance with Flo Rida and the late Amy Winehouse.
The lawsuit David has filed mentions two patents at issue: one for a device that displays moving images in the background of a stage and one for a projection apparatus and method for pepper’s ghost illusion.
David recently bought the exclusive license to Musion’s patent and plans on having future hologram concerts at his FilmOn Studios showroom in Beverly Hill with his new company Hologram USA.
