Star Wars Style 3D Hologram Phones Coming


Star Wars-style 3D hologram phones could  be a reality, as a Polish firm is working on such a system that could allow users to see 3D hologram images of the receiver.
Leia Display Systems, named after the Star War's heroine, intends to take the video phone call feature to its next level.
According to Mirror, to make a call, a person is required to sit in front of a high tech camera having two lenses and a microphone, which generate two images that are blended together and streamed through the internet to the person on the other end of the line.
The images are then received on a hologram machine and projected onto a screen of water vapor
