Hi! Here are some HQ pictures of the hologram at Billboard 2014, now we can see more details of the illusion!
"The decision of what age Jackson should be in the performance was, at least in theory, wide open. The performer could have been almost any age, as his career spanned decades. In reality, an actual ‘plaster’ life cast of the singer’s face made in 1997 meant that this would be the age of the Jackson the world would see: 39. It was at this age that the veteran special effects expert Stan Winston made a life cast of the singer for the project Ghosts. The team got access to that original life cast and had the mold scanned."
