Way back last February, I was all starry-eyed about a new breakthrough in holographic displays. Foolish me; just wait a few months and look what technology offers! Looks like we’ll be seeing Princess Leia any day now.

Researchers at the University of Southern California’s ICT Graphics Lab have created a new type of holographic display that can generate simultaneous 3D views for multiple observers without the need for special glasses. The setup also happens to be relatively inexpensive since it’s built around a specially modified off-the-shelf DLP projector that works with a spinning mirror.
