"In a museum in Tampere, Finland, Ismo Rakkolainen's fog machine conjures up the Mona Lisa on an invisible sheet of water particles. Thousands of miles away in Hermosa Beach, California, a graduate student passes his hand through an image of a DNA strand produced -- apparently out of thin air -- by a modified video projector. The two inventions represent the latest front in advanced computer displays -- eliminating the screen altogether."
We've seen it in movies over the years; now, it might slowly become reality. You can read more about the two technologies at IO2 Technology and FogScreen inc. Neither appear to be holographic. Both might contribute to the future of ubiquitous displays and ubiquitous computing, though.
