<< Perhaps the most exciting technology at Comdex this year was a 3D display that projected volumetric images into thin air, prompting show goers to gasp, burst out laughing and run around the booth in excitement. >>

Actually, I bet it's real. 6 years ago, I saw similar technology at COSI in Columbus, OH. You heard a phone ringing, and the sound was coming from what appeared to be a cordless handset sitting in a small alcove on the wall (where one would expect a phone). When you went for it, it wasn't there. Really really cool. I imagine that in 6 years, they'd have improved on the technology a bit.

Well I'm sure the projection can't be anywhere zippy. I'll be shocked if it's even a completely open area above the base of the thing.
