The Japanese have brought us one step closer to the holodeck

True 3D Display Technology Demonstrated in Japan (Pic inside)

"The display does not rely on any sort of optical illusion or disorientation. Instead, infrared lasers are aligned to converge and create small amounts of plasma. The plasma acts as a floating "dot" on top of the laser grid."

Of course you can't actually touch the display, since it's made of dots of plasma, but how cool is that?!
