Bayern make history announcing Audi Cup field via live 3D holographic video

This is a modal window.

While Carlo Ancelotti took his place on the podium, Jurgen Klopp and Diego Simeone were presented as live holograms.

Bayern legend Franz Beckenbauer is famously quoted as saying "without Gerd Muller's goals we would still be sitting around in a wooden shack on Sabener Strasse," explaining the Bavarians transformation from Munich mediocrity to the footballing powerhouse of today.

Fast-forward five decades from the good old days of those quaint timber huts. We are at what is normally a gymnasium inside Bayern's state-of-the-art facility, transformed into a futuristic scene from Star Trek to announce August's Audi Cup preseason tournament in Munich via live holographic video conferencing technology.
