I attended the Consumer Electronics Trade show in Chicago back in the 70s. There was a company that had an object that looked like an aquarium with a 6 inch 3D girl walking around in it. You could reach in and put your hand right through her. The company spokesman said they were working on a 3D projector that would mount 3 laser projectors in the top corners of a room and where the beams would intersect, there would appear a 3D object. This was back in 1975. I've always wondered what happened to that research.

"I've always wondered what happened to that research."

They were ordered by the feds to stop working on it and concentrate on the 100MPG carburetor.
