There are lots of ways to make star wars holograms that are much more accessible than this. With our new depth sensors and some other really stupid tricks you can achieve that. There's a reason Apple is hiring like crazy for AR designers. We are pretty closer to in that future. If you're looking for the bleeding edge of what's here now, RED[1] the camera company is putting out a hologram cell phone probably like next month I guess with a hologram display from a company literally called leia[2].

From the FAQ: > Is LEIA a hologram? > Leia makes it possible to project an image in the air – an image through which you can put your hand or walk but it's not a 3D projection. The image is flat and thus does not meet the criteria of the hologram definition. So what is it?

  When you really get into spatial imaging, splitting hairs on definition is really important. To the layman, it's basically what you think of as a hologram. Holography is a photographic record of a light field. Leia might be more accurately described as a spatialized parallax display. With a light field you would be able to infinitely change your depth focus to any item in the volume because the entire light field is captured.
