One Step Closer to Star Wars Holograms

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the help-me-obi-wan dept.

An anonymous reader noted a USC research project that is coming ever closer to bringing the classic Star Wars communication holograms from Tatooine to Earth. There's nifty video and some high resolution pictures of Tie Fighters projected into 3-D. Still no clear way to project it from an astro mech droid, but I'm sure that's coming.

    Congratulations. You win the WTF troll award.

    Incidentally the first not racist gay bashing troll award also.

    I still remember being a kid in the early 90's, and playing games like Time Traveler and Holosseum in arcades. Apparently they were very successful financially, though they didn't last too long.
