Obscura Digital Demos "Minority Report"-Like Display

Barence and other readers sent along word of a demonstration by Obscura Digital of a new technology it's dubbed a multi-touch hologram — reminiscent of the display in Minority Report. The demonstration shows a man interacting with holographic images projected before him, moving them around and resizing them. It's only sort of like the Minority Report display, which used hand movements to control elements on a screen. Earlier, Obscura had demoed another take on the Spielbergian technology, a multi-touch wall.

    From the blog comments:

    This guy is not controlling anything with his hands. It's a pre-recorded sequence and he is "hand-syncing". Look closely.

    Still, I'd like to know what technology they used to create the holograms... *IF* indeed they're real.
