    That would be awesome. They have to be close to doing it, I know in Japan they already have 3D holograms giving live concerts. You can see these things from 3 sides as they are projected out in front of the back mirror by about 4 feet. Even with the back mirror being in place, could you imagine watching a movie like Avatar or the terminator like that?

    Man, that's crazy. What do they project it on? A smoke screen?

    I'm not too technically minded but I do know a thing or two about light and I know we need 3 things in order to see: A light source (projector), something to reflect the light (smoke or something?) and of course the 3rd is our eyes to receive the light. You can consider our brain (to interpret the light) as a forth but most consider that as a single system with our eyes.
