amazing
I wonder how something like this could change the way we play games.

That's really, really cool. I'm going to hold off until they figure out a way to get rid of the mirror, though .

Truly 3D gaming that's how it could change it =)
This really makes me remember the one episode of Robotech where Rick Hunter is in a bar or something and some guy challenges him to a table top video game. The cool part was at some point it changed form just being on a screen to the ships actually being projected in the air and fighting around the whole building.
I always remember that being super cool and I one day hope games can leap forth from our TV and be something like that.

That'd be a huge, really expensive display device though. GIANT SPINNING MIRRORS OF DOOM!!!
Also, Robotech rocks.

This makes me afraid: Sigma might want to eat me.

Neat, but the "holiest of sci-fi dreams"? I don't think so.
That would either be Star Trek-esque teleporters or female love robots.

Fixed.
Sadly light saber technology is near impossible to reproduce without a massive machine . . .

That is so cool, but I wonder what would happen if you stuck your hand in there. (Also was I the only one that thought Wiimote when he was manipulating the image?).

lets see 15 fps (Im assuming one rotation is a frame), times sixty seconds in a minute, thats 900 rpm, I'd say that would sting

I played holographic games back in the 80's (Forget what it was called but it was circular and found in several arcades)

BEHOLD! The technology that will be used on the Wii 2 or the next Nintendo handheld!

Stick your hand in there and you'll lose your arm. It's still a nice start, though.
Eh, it's been said by like twenty people already. I'll add this: Odds are, that hand/arm will fly and break your TV screen. Wrist straps will be recalled and stronger versions will once again be issued.
