It was 33 years ago that Princess Leia called for the help of Luke Skywalker and his allies in the form of a holographic message shown in the original 1977 Star Wars film. Now scientists believe they are close to perfecting the real thing.
For the first time, true three-dimensional holographic images have been transmitted from one place to another in near real-time, said Nasser Peyghambarian of the University of Arizona in Tucson. The images are refreshed once every two seconds.
"We have come up with a new technique for three-dimensional telepresence. Holographic telepresence means we can record a three-dimensional image in one location and show it in another location, in near real-time, anywhere in the world," he said.
The scientists envisage a day when surgeons around the world will be able to operate remotely on the same patient, whose body is represented in each surgeon's office as a holographic image that faithfully represents the real-life person. They believe holography could be used by manufacturers for designing new cars or mobile phones by manipulating images of the prototypes without the need to make 3D models. Other possible uses include holographic videoconferences and holographic TVs where images "pop up" from a table-top projector.

Eventually this technology will make it to your phone. 10 years. Who know's maybe sooner.
Damn. How cool can this be.
