    From CNN:

    SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- In a museum in Tampere, Finland, Ismo Rakkolainen's fog machine conjures up the Mona Lisa on an invisible sheet of water particles.

    Thousands of miles away in Hermosa Beach, California, a graduate student passes his hand through an image of a DNA strand produced -- apparently out of thin air -- by a modified video projector.

    The two inventions represent the latest front in advanced computer displays -- eliminating the screen altogether.


    Full story here (Sorry in advance for the popups - that's CNN for you.....)

    It's a step, but still not a real R2' hologram yet.
