NJ Hall Of Fame Bringing Holograms To American Dream Meadowlands

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — The New Jersey Hall of Fame is bringing holograms to American Dream Meadowlands.

The hall of fame unveiled a hologram of musician and actor Stevie Van Zandt online earlier this month as part of its legacy time capsule project. The hologram will be unveiled at Newark Liberty International Airport April 1 and will be included in the hall of fame's permanent museum at American Dream Meadowlands.

The exhibition is designed to inspire people to pursue their full potential. Other inductees, including Wyclef Jean and astronauts Mark and Scott Kelly, were interviewed for the project.

Steve Edwards, president of the New Jersey Hall of Fame, interviewed Van Zandt for the project.

Neither Edwards, nor a spokesperson from the New Jersey Hall of Fame could be reached for comment.

The Hall of Fame announced in September that it will move permanently to American Dream Meadowlands. The Hall of Fame has used a mobile museum for 10 years.

More than 140 people have been inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame since it opened in 2008. The Foundation for the New Jersey Hall of Fame selects inductees in recognition for making "invaluable contributions to society, the state of New Jersey, and the world beyond."

Some notable inductees include the singing group The Four Seasons, the late actor Christopher Reeve, and journalist Connie Chung.

Most of the $5 billion American Dream Meadowlands is slated to open in late spring. The 3 million-square-foot mega-mall will have more than 400 retailers, an 800-foot-tall ski slope, and indoor water park and amusement park.
