    "Holographic" Displays one step closer to reality

    Now, I'm not sure if this has been posted before.

    This is essentially a laser projected (as in NOT holographic) touch screen. While it is not really 3D it can have the apperance of it.

    It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen outside of Science-Fiction.

    In the infinite expanse that we occupy, whose to say that something's impossible?

      The rate at which we come up with this cool stuff is the reason why scifi is getting harder to write. It's hard to make something look futuristic when someone keeps coming up with the things you imagine for 200 years in the future, now.

          I don't know if it counts or not but they also have a laser/virtual keyboard that uses a camera and laser to project light onto a desk in the shape of a keyboard. You can see it here: http://www.virtual-laser-keyboard.com/

            It is seriously cool. Shame it's still planar, but I'm sure they will beat that limitation in time. It kind of reminds me of that Professor thing in the first season of SeaQuest.

              LOL, Sci-fi is completely screwed when we finally invent the shield it's all just a matter of time folks, matter of time...

              Note:i jave NO idea if this is valid but my father told me that they actually made the beaming technology, they have only been able to beam a laser beam of light, but it's been done. Lol i dunno if the project was disbanded or something. Note:No insultin' my dad...

                I will have to do some research but I believe I did read that somewhere they had teleported some particles, although I don't think very far.

                  That would be really useful. Ive gotta get one.

                    It would be nice if we had that replicator thingie on Star Trek. I don't remember if it only did food or other things too but I still think it would be useful if just for food.

                      They did transport a few atoms, about 40 meters i think. some people will call that a small distance, but they have to realize that they just invented the tech and its still in an infancy stage, and in a couple a hundred years we may even have transporters for people or even in 10 years time. anything is possible
