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?

I posted above a good link about the details of how the effect works: https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?sid=8079&cid=200253#commentwrap [soylentnews.org]
In the bottom half of the image you linked you can barely make out that the screen is in the "ceiling" and is projecting four different images downwards onto the pyramid. This results in only four different view points. But they do have a short animation that shows the viewpoints are supposed to change as you rotate around the pyramid. But that could just be BS. The HaD article has a good video explaining the effect and how to easily replicate it at home.
