It's very cool!

It's not really star-wars hologram since it doesn't actually "float" above the desk but is a part of a flat surface. See what happens when they tilt the display too far :)

Still, it's a very cool achievement, hard to really understand how it works actually. :)

Yeah, that hologram singer for some reason freaks me out. I love technology but it scares me too. That double-edged sword thing, haha (i.e. me waking up one day to discover I am not real but a hologram. Hmm. Did I just flicker?) Anyway, it is cool.

That's cool Daemon. The future is going to be wild for sure. Can you imagine the Shark scene from Back to the Future II be for real one day? Like how they make this video too; one day it will be for real (don't believe this video itself is for real but if so, share the links for verification, but I'm pretty skeptical). :)

Yeah, I'd been hearing about this for some time, about the different singers which give her her voice, Also, watch her performances. You can see the projectors.
