Star Wars 3D holograms 'close to reality'

3D holograms such as that seen in Star Wars are one step closer to becoming a reality.
Previous attempts at producing a real-time hologram have suffered from long update times but now a team at Arizona University have managed to get the update time down to just two seconds.
Ever since Princess Leia used a hologram of herself to ask Obi Wan Kenobi for help in the film Star Wars, scientists have been trying to harness the same technology for real.

This is not referring to a 'projection'. This is referring to a polymer plate that is being burned with new holograms by a laser every two seconds - holograms of the type that ACTUALLY exist, interference patterns on a solid substrate that make it look like the image has depth behind the plate.
