    it sounds a bit like the helicopters may have a too high power usage, but other than that, this is phenomenal.

    although personally i think the research will go in a different way as soon as we figure out a way to simply color molecules or atoms at our disposal.

    I want to go to a demonstration of that, wait for them to have it do the Mona Lisa, and then take a leaf blower to it.

    Why do the objects have to fly? Seems like an overly complicated approach to me. Wouldn't it be much easier to achive the effect with some sort of transparent matrix? Kinda like LED matrixes that already exist but with miniaturized light sources (to make them "invisible" when not turned on) and much higher resolution. Like this:

    a matrix won't actually let you have a 3d surface, nor could you potentially walk through one

    neither will tiny flying LED helicopters.

    watch the video. if that's not a 3d surface, i don't know what is...

    a huge step in the wrong direction ... interaction with this will not just ruin the illusion but literally BREAK the hologram

    well i did propose a better solution for when we discover all secrets of quantum entities, but for that i think this'll do..

    not too impressed with it tbh. it seems like a cumbersome way to create an illusion that's not too astounding... an original aproach, but not too practical imo.

    nice, but it seems to be protected in a box/sphere?
