In the clip embedded here, Jessica Yellin talks about little bit about how the technology works. There are 35 HD cameras that encircle her and capture a full body image that is beamed back to CNN HQ. The cameras on Yellin are synched up with cameras at CNN to coordinate different shots, and a whole bunch of computers put everything together
How the CNN Holographic Interview System Works
As Arthur C. Clarke says, Magic. A magic made possible from technology Vizrt and SportVu with the help of forty-four HD cameras and twenty computers. Here are the details.
On the subject's side: • 35 HD cameras pointed at the subject in a ring • Different cameras shoot at different angles (like the matrix), to transmit the entire body image • The cameras are hooked up to the cameras in home base in NY, synchronizing the angles so perspective is right • The system is set up in trailers outside Obama and McCain HQ • Not only is it mechanical tracking via camera communication, there's infrared as well • Correspondents see a 37-inch plasma where the return feed of the combined images are fed back to them. Useful for a misplaced hair or an unseemly boogar • Twenty "computers" are crunching this data in order to make it usable
• The delay is either minimal, or we've gotten used to satellite delay that we don't even notice now • An array of computers takes the crunched info feed from the subject's side in order to mesh it with the video from Wolf's side. • Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the images are actually "projected" onto the floor of the CNN studio so that Wolf can actually talk to the person, you know, in a face to face. So it's not quite Star Wars just yet. Only after computers merge the video feeds together do you get a coherent hologram + person scenario

That was absolutely mind blowing seeing it used like that. Although i've seen this technology before (used for patient x-rays) it was amazing. One day when the size of HD cameras decreases i hope to see a more mobile version of this technology.
Soon after that we may even see a star wars type cluster of floating cameras do that.
