Straight out of "Star Wars," this one delivers Princess Leia on a desktop where all can see her and hear her plaintive message at once. (Science Daily: Full-circle viewing: 360-degree electronic holographic display)
Frankly, we couldn't care less how they do it, just that they can. The link is there for your review if you want to get more technical with it.
Example of the capability:
In the original 'Star Wars' movie, the inviting but grainy special effects hologram might soon be a true full-color, full-size holographic image, due to advances by a South Korean research team refining 3-D holographic displays.
The team described a novel tabletop display system that allows multiple viewers to simultaneously view a hologram showing a full 3-D image as they walk around the tabletop, giving complete 360-degree access. The paper was published this week in the journal Optics Express, from The Optical Society (OSA).
To be commercially feasible in a range of applications -- from medicine to gaming to media -- the hologram challenge is daunting. It involves scaling an electronic device to a size small enough to fit on a table top, while making it robust enough to render immense amounts of data needed to create a full-surround 3-D viewing experience from every angle -- without the need for special glasses or other viewing aids.

How about some sci fi for when can we touch it?
(Ed: are you getting porno?)
No but I see this easily could if you're so bound and determined to spend many thousands of dollars for your purpose even when you can get a "Hustler" magazine for two dollars or whatever, you know, if you like seeing turtles have sex 'n all.
Touching is part of life even when mostly humans don't like it except for some lascivious purpose ... but ... how about when Computer Grandma visits her new grandbaby so maybe this kit can give the new baby a Grandma's touch which couldn't come any other way.
Here's another which is benign since men typically shake hands in greeting to show good intentions, no wish for war, and all those things. What if that were possible via hologram since now you're closing deals around the world without leaving your seedy man cave and you can seal the deal with a handshake.
(Ed: that assumes the receiving system can duplicate the sensation of that touch)
Sure but look what they did already so we're not lacking any major thinkers. Go forth and continue inventing radical stuff since this is so far beyond The Jetsons.
(Ed: if you get computers capable of accurately emulating a human touch then you will have opened the game for computer porno which doesn't even need a human!)
Anyone so mutated to want to see his porno but it doesn't even have to be real humans doing it is I suspect not someone who will ever cause any trouble because we probably won't ever see him; he won't ever pull away from that review.
