Wow, that is awesome! I wish I was rich, so I could buy one, but if I wait 5 years, maybe it will only be a few thousand, and will support more Operating Systems and have support for Direct3D and OpenGL. I was just watching "Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back (Episode 5)" a few hours ago, and there is a part where Darth Vader is talking to one of his commanders in the shape of a small blue hologram. That Holo-Orb's 8-bit color images look just like it. I know what would be really cool to do with that Holo-Orb once its hooked to your PC. You could write an AI program that lived in your computer and displayed an image of itself in the Holo-Orb. Kind of like an advanced Alice in 3D!
