There website is getting hit pretty hard, but I pulled this off...;

Wasn't aware that holography wasn't already a 3-D technology.
Not a clue how to do it whatsoever. As I have been told, the ideas are the easy part, implementation is the difficult, and VERY pricey part.
I'm not sure how 2-D any image projected into a 3-D space is. That is, if the image could be made so you couldn't see through it easily, and does not exist within a single plane, then by walking to the other side, you would see the other side of the image.
Imagine car design where the layers of the vehicle could be pulled away in a cutaway view and every single component within the car could be viewed at full size.
Dang - just cool, and fun to talk about and imagine.
Overview
The Heliodisplay includes patent pending technology and proprietary trade secrets. In the absence of an executed Non-Disclosure Agreement, the following is all that we will disclose at this time.
The Heliodisplay requires a power outlet, and a computer, TV, DVD or alternate video source. The current version of the Heliodisplay projects a 22" diagonal image that floats above the device. The Heliodisplay system is backward compatible and accepts most 2D video sources (PC,TV, DVD, HDTV, Video game consoles). For connection to a computer, the Heliodisplay uses a standard monitor VGA connection; for TV or DVD viewing, it connects using a standard RGB video cable.
Heliodisplay images are easily viewed in an office environment. Like any computer monitor or TV, images appear brighter the lower the ambient light. Also, just like viewing any computer monitor or TV,viewing a Heliodisplay image in direct sunlight is almost impossible.
The Heliodisplay is interactive, like a virtual touchscreen. A hand or finger can act as a mouse. No special glove or pointing device is required. Just as you use a mouse to move the cursor on a traditional computer monitor, you can use your finger to move the cursor around the Heliodisplay image (see: Images & Videos).The Heliodisplay connects to a computer (at least: Pentium III 400MHZ;25MB free disk space;Win2000/XP) through a USB port.
Operating the device will not change a room`s environment, air quality or other conditions. Air comes into the device, is modified then ejected and illuminated to produce the image. Nothing is added to the air so there isn't any harmful gas or liquid emitted from the device. If a Heliodisplay were left running for a week in a hermetically sealed room, the only change to the room`s environment would be from the electricity used to run the device. Although the Heliodisplay uses lasers, the images are not holographic.
The image is display into two-dimensional space (i.e.planar). Heliodisplay images appear 3D when viewed from more than a few feet away because there is no physical depth reference. Images can be seen up to 75 degrees off aspect for a total viewing area of over 150 degrees- similar to an LCD screen. Viewing requires no special glasses or background/foreground screening.
