}Well, it's been done.  A couple of years ago I saw a
}computer-generated hologram on display at the MIT Media Laboratory.
}I believe it was static (i.e. like a photograph), not dynamic (like an
}animated display).  I don't know anything about the technology used to
}produce it.

I was refering to using an LCD as the medium for displaying a hologram.
Other technologies are coming right along.  I think your example is a
system under development for General Motors.
