    From the HoloTouch Press Room:

    A Holographic President... maybe they should license this to the government.

    [This is probably funnier if you go to the page and see the photos...]

  3. Holotouch's lovely illustrations ... by JoeGee · · Score: 1 · on Holographic Keypads Float Into View

    ... don't show that the surgeons are really attempting to remove the active holographic plastic projection sheet that is somehow lodged in their patient's midsection. Their holodeck was obviously operating with its safeties disengaged.

  4. This whole thing looks like a snake oil by apankrat · · Score: 1 · on Holographic Keypads Float Into View

    To quote their press release:

    To obtain high-resolution photos of HoloTouch in action, visit http://www.holotouch.com/pressroom.htm.

    Perhaps my English is not that good, but doesn't this mean there is a working prototype ?

    Or did they actually mean to say 'hi-res images of HoloTouch in imaginery action' ?

  5. Ok, I'll poke *you*! by RobertB-DC · · Score: 1 · on Holographic Keypads Float Into View

    Is it just the geek in me? When I visited the Pressroom link, noted in the article as "other sample applications", I expected to see pictures of things I could poke. I got:

    * A floating keypad in the driver's window. Located right where my vehicle is located when I merge onto the highway. Great, now I don't know if the guy pointing at me is letting me merge or calling dial-a-porn.

    * A doctor viewing what appears to be a movie -- note the VCR-style buttons. It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa yells to Doctor Nick from the gallery: "Hey! The incision should be made below the blockage! Below!"

    * And finally, the smiling face and very, very glossy head of "HoloTouch President and founder R. Douglas McPheters". This, folks is the guy asking for your Venture Capital dollars. Of all the holograms on this page, this one is the one that makes me want to reach out and poke something.

    *honk* Gotcher nose!
