Is it for real?

If so, it seems to me that the projected image is flat, ie, 2D - that's why it's not 'holographic' (3D). But it acts like a touchscreen when you stick your finger through the 2D image (that's projected in to the air above the unit).

And they reckon their prices will rival that of a same size plasma? That's still pretty pricey, but if you're planning to buy a plasma, you'd definitely have to consider this option.

Now that would be making good use of technology...

Have you had a look through the website? They're looking for a manufacturer to buy the patent off them. But if you can't wait for the mass-produced version, you can buy one of their hand-built protoypes (they only make 4 per month) for a mere US$22,500 - half up-front. They are really cagey about the technology (understandably, I suppose) but I'm still a little dubious...
