We don't have a holographic projector but he is using the cave and 3d TV. Yes, there is a light saber duel.

I guess it doesn't come out well in a video, as it doesn't look like anything from here. It’s supposed to be that red blob.

Just the idea of the post got me excited. How is it then that I left disapointed? Clearly something wrong with me today. I still love the idea. I’m a complete nerd for this stuff.

I just see some Russian lady with some motor tics in a cheap Leia outfit being filmed on a Kinect. Where's the hologram part? I’m sorry, but I don’t see the “wow” moment here?

Here are some other samples that may give a better sense of what the display can do. http://barabas.scripts.mit.edu/holovideo/ Yes, our holograms are a bit hard to photograph.

Then I'll believe it's 3-D. The movie madness is over 2-D stereoscopic imagery, not "3-D" at all in any meaningful sense of the term.
