An interactive holographic display that can create 3D digital worlds inside a special pyramid shaped display has raised more than four times its crowdfunding target.
The device, developed by Vancouver based H+Technology, sits on a table top and can be viewed from numerous different angles. Using a smartphone or tablet users can interact with 3D objects 'inside' the pyramid.
The company hopes that the device will help people to interact with technology more naturally in groups, rather than alone.
Isn't Kinect a better interface for this kind of thing?

It looks like a commercial version of this: http://hackaday.com/2015/02/08/dead-simple-hologram-effect/ [hackaday.com]
They inverted the pyramid and the projection actually comes from above. The rotation effect is interesting though and goes a step beyond the HaD article.
