Clients get so nervous about what to say, but so frequently turn up looking like they've been out in the garden! I try to attend interviews and give them the once over - and ensure there's no soup on the tie or other little bits that glow on camera.

This technology, however impressive it might appear in public demonstrations, is neither a hologram, not even 3D, it takes a flat regular HD image and projects it using an age-old mirror trick above the stage. It appears "3D" to the *distant* audience who cannot stand up and walk around as otherwise they would quickly discover that the image is actually flat, has no depth and no "sidewise" view, left alone a backside (360 degs). Repeatedly calling this stuff holographic and 3D is really an insult to any physicist and serious technician. The underlying "Peppers Ghost technology" in contrast is at least true 3D and can be viewed (seen from the side) within a limited range of angles, but this is because it uses true 3D objects reflected out of another room through a mirror, no flat camera images. The only high-tech in the new technique that it uses a thin reflective foil instead of large sheets of window glass and up-to-date HD images XW Don´t believe what they are trying to tell you.
