An Iron Man Like 3D Hologram Controlled by Leap Motion and Three.js

As cool as this is, it's not really a hologram. This is an example of Pepper's Ghost, which is also what's used to project images into your field of vision using Google Glass.

This is solely a 2D image reflected in glass. The control via finger is novel, but there is no volumetric or holographic effect whatsoever.

This is one of the coolest things I have seen. I hope that this is the direction that user interfaces goes in down the road, it is much more exciting than 2D.

This is pretty awesome. This is the first time I've seen something being projected into a prism to generate this hologram effect. Is this a new trend?

While its cool, all this has been done with kinekt.<p><a href="https://github.com/doug/depthjs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/doug/depthjs</a>

this is amazing. the future of the interface indeed. forget iron man this is more like star wars. but more seriously, i'm very interested to see what comes next with this in terms of interaction. i'm not sure how long lived the LEAP device will be, but this sort of holographic interaction technology certainly has a big future!

So seeing this, I'm wondering, could we get a "continuous" 3d projection with a cone-like shape instead of 4 planes?

The following is a fake video of a hologram gaming console. I hope it will inspire someone to make it real: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaaHcH9nQmI" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaaHcH9nQmI</a>

I actually laughed out loud at how incredibly clever and awesome that is. This is such a great idea and kudos to the person who designed this!
