BBC News - Hologram messaging coming of age

i'll be dead by then, but this sounds cool!
At its heart is a new plastic screen material that will record 3D holographic images time and time again, every two seconds.


In the set up described in Nature, 16 cameras recorded 2D images of objects and people from multiple angles, and then sent that information to another location using a computer connection.

At the remote site, a laser was used to "print" the visual information on to the new photosensitive polymer. The 3D image composed of the 16 perspectives decays naturally, but the laser can write the next "frame" before it completely disappears.

in 2 years, they took it from 4 minute updates to every 2 seconds.
They think another 2-3 years to take it to 30fps.

Stupid question, but how is it a hologram if its being projected onto a polymer "screen"?

Wouldn't it be more closer to "3d projection"?

Besides, it seems totally pointless/wasteful.

i guess because it is true three dimensional? it's not free floating ala star wars though.
