Holographic Videoconferencing Getting Closer
I was drifting through the Internet today looking for something interesting. I found it! Many years ago I was working for a true visionary at Lawrence Livermore National Labs. He told the young me one day that there will someday be a way to hold holographic videoconferences right there in the conference room. I guess…
