    I don't know about the hologram, but I wouldn't be suprised to see something more like this actually happen in the gaming industry. The technology is literally already there, as this guy demonstrates, it just needs the software. Similar concept to that above.

    Looks like it's only partial right now. Very cool. Can't wait till this technology advances even further.

    The hologram in the top video is similar to what is demonstrated in the second. You'll notice the camera only pans a foot or two each direction. This is because it's still projected on a 2d display, but just appears to move (and thus give depth) when the users head moves.

    It'll look fully 3D and hovering in the air as long as you don't move too far to the side or behind where it is supposed to be.

    Wow. That is pretty amazing. Although the Hologram would be better if it was actually in 'thin air'. But that will come.

    Also, the Head Tracking looks amazing. I could see how that could make gaming very fun. Although not for many hardcore gamers as they'd rather play games with a controller as you won't get tired that way.

    Now they would only need a decent "invention" to go with it, not that crap in the OP.
