Mid-air holograms

Via Winchell Chung. Certainly not a holodeck, but getting pretty close to R2D2's projector.

Possibly the most promising #holographic projection system I have seen to date which manages to create projections in air by controlling the air in a confined space so well it can change the properties of light (refraction, reflection / diffusion) which interacts with that volume of air, thus creating the visual you see below - which is safe to touch too. #Physics #ComputerScience #Hologram Go back it on #KickStarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2029950924/holovect-holographic-vector-display/description
