Haha!

Yeah to be honest it looks like a scene from an 80’s TV Show.

At least wear contemporary looking suits guys! Look at Bill Gates and Steve Jobs – don a skivvy or something…

It’s academic. My TV is 2d. I didn’t see it in 3d. Why put on some boring guy in a suit though. It does have a resemblance to the image in the movie I, Robot. There would probably be less critics if it was a hologram of Angelina Jolie. We’d be nodding our heads saying yeah! yeah! Gimme gimme!

Point taken.

So in other words, the picture of R2D2 and Princess Leia below is a better representation of a true hologram?

“This is pure bullshit. Telstra was not demonstrating a video hologram, or even a static hologram. A quick check on numerous websites or in many books explains what a hologram really is and the most obvious attribute is that it appears to be a 3D object. Not a 2D image on a screen. In their defense, Telstra and the media are only parroting what the company that supplies this technology is saying.

What Telstra demonstrated was projecting a video onto a screen.”
