    Is the picture actually 3d? So that I can see a cat from all sides or is it just a flat-thingy like readyroom text in NS <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, it's very neat. Very very neat <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I can't wait what else future holds.

    Edit: I'm reading the page and it truely is a 3d image. And they even claim that you can manipulate the 'hologram' as if it were a virtual touchscreen. Now I have two questions: 1) How the hell does that work <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> 2) Where can I get one for my movies.

    I thought we would be seeing holograms in the far future.

    And it seems that in the same time a similiar type of technology has been developed in Finland.

    <a href='http://www.fogscreen.com/index.html' target='_blank'>Fogscreen</a> looks as cool as the american version.

    It looks like a sprite. Bah, this is the 21st century, we don't "do" sprites anymore!

    Mebbe they'll make some size limit? So if anything under x centimeters touches it, it ignores the touch...

    Honestly, I wouldn't like a holographic keyboard. Why? I wouldn't feel that I pressed anything at all. Well, I wouldn't mind having a holo keyboard that actually feels like a real keyboard... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The use of a holographic keyboard, is if they can make the keyboard be projected from, say, a glove. Then you can have a computer anywhere you want one... true, a physical keyboard is still nicer to use, but being able to have a full computer everywhere you go at the flick of a wrist? That's better than laptops for certain...

    And that is indeed the answer. The minituarisation will take another step. Imagine a PC in form of a small cube. The only problem here is the human, can't type on a cube, can he? Here would come the 'materialized' holo keyboard in. If it would detect movement, it would be really revolutionizing (like it isn't already). <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
