This is cool but I wonder how it knows the layout of your room and doesn't have holograms inbetween a desk or half way in a wall?

Indeed. Would take some serious 3D laser scanning in real time with precise motion tracking and immense computing power. But even if it was 10% of that they show on the video, I'd go for one. =)

This explains why Google shelved the lens product! If Microsoft heavily invest into this technology and get it right? they are onto something major and a clear winner.

Glass indeed pales in comparison to this. Then again you could buy Glass. I wonder when this will hit the shelves.

Microsoft has always been good at making flashy videos to show off the concepts that they are working on. Remember the video for their electronic book product? You could take notes with a stylus and save items by pushing them into the spine of the book. Looked really cool and went nowhere. Microsoft also had that "table top" computer where you could look at photos and play games. Again, flashy concept video and the product never materialized.

But, what could we do with this hologram stuff?
Many things...

Holograms as teaching aids in classrooms and lecture halls.
Holograms in the medical field for training purposes.
Holograms in the White House conference rooms when planning
the next world war.
Holograms inside Adult Video Store booths to get yer
freaks on.
...the list could go on.

Who knows. We'll probably see this technology added to
console games.
Xbox, Wii, PC/Mac, and PlayStation could benefit from this.

Folks have been using Kinect gadgets to interact with games.
But, with holograms, we'll soon be able to interact inside
the games as though we were game pieces or "avatars".

And... if any consumer/gamer software should become of this,
I predict a package will include materials to transform
your room or space into a 'green screen' background so that
holograms can be projected from games into the space to
interact with you. It will be expensive, for sure.

I sound far-fetched crazy out of my mind with this.
But, hey, this future gaming and "HIFI"
(Holographic Interface) is possible. lol
