This is too cool.

IO2 Technology's ground breaking medium format 27-inch heliodisplay, developed by Mr. Chad Dyner, projects full color streaming video into mid-air. The image or video is fully interactive allowing a hand or finger to select, navigate and manipulate the image or video as a virtual touchscreen.

That's actually BEYOND Star Wars. There's interactivity. Wow.

Damn I was just abut to post this.

Really cool though

That is BEYOND bad-ass... I guess some sort of "holophone" is closer than I thought.

As far as I can tell (from the very little that they tell you) it appears that the imagery is strictly 2-D, but does look a lot like the holograms from Star Wars, doesn't it?

Now, my next question is, how does that work?

[blaquejag]

Also in Gene Roddenberry's "Earth - Final Conflict"

Lord, that show sucked.

It reminds me of the interface stuff from the final fantasy movie.
