Researchers Envision 3-D Hologram Phone

Chad Gray copies and pastes "It's an idea that was popularized by Princess Leia's plea for help in Star Wars: sending a 3-D hologram. Now, two Japanese scientists have developed technology they hope will one day turn the humble telephone booth into a high-tech chamber for beaming holographic images."

    I'm sorry, but I don't think Star Wars really popularized the idea of a 3D hologram...Princess Lea's plea wasn't even a 3D hologram. It was just a 2D projection. We can do that kind of thing now. Does any one remember the holographic arcade game by Sega?
