I attended the Consumer Electronics Trade show in Chicago back in the 70s. There was a company that had an object that looked like an aquarium with a 6 inch 3D girl walking around in it. You could reach in and put your hand right through her. The company spokesman said they were working on a 3D projector that would mount 3 laser projectors in the top corners of a room and where the beams would intersect, there would appear a 3D object. This was back in 1975. I've always wondered what happened to that research.

They were ordered by the feds to stop working on it and concentrate on the 100MPG carburetor.

It's a start. Current video games started as moving dots, ie PONG, eventually we'll see Grand Theft Auto 3-D!........

In a matter of weeks, if not days, they'll figure out how to make this device display porn!

Holodeck uses structural integrity fields and transporter technology to produce "solidograms". Holograms with apparent texture and solidity.
Still a ways away from that one. But I could see a Niven/Barnes type "Dream Park" that would completely revamp the theme park industry.
