There’s an interesting story over on DailyTech reporting on a recently unveiled 3D image display technology. From their article (Link):

The Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) announced an exciting breakthrough in optoelectronics — a working three dimensional display. The display does not rely on any sort of optical illusion or disorientation. Instead, infrared lasers are aligned to converge and create small amounts of plasma. The plasma acts as a floating “dot” on top of the laser grid.

Sweetness. And for more, check out the AIST website (Link – English translation).
