Those of you who could see the FreeRepublic Hologram, at the top of this thread, might find this interesting, too. Someone did a great job of programming a 3D Pong Game in Java. I can see the holograms, but my mind reels at the work that had to go into writing that program. Writing a Pong game is easy. But, keeping the 3D image in tact at the same time boggles the mind.

The only way that you can play it is if you can see the hologram. Here's a hint. To beat the computer, you must hit a glancing blow off one side of the paddle, so that the ball goes into one of the two top corners at a sharp angle. It requires no mouse clicks to move the paddle - just left and right mouse movements.

Here's the URL for the instructions. The link to the actual game is on that page.

ENJOY!
