I just finished watching your US election coverage on CNN and saw some amazing new technology! They showed this holographic projection of the White House and this graph showing the states (blah, blah, blah) and it was floating over this table next to this anchorwoman. That was really cool!
To top that off, they had this performer (I forget this dude's name) projected into the studio like a holographic image out of Star Trek!  THAT just blew my mind!
CNN really pulled out the stops for this one! US recession be damned I guess

But I did go to a space themed fancy dress party once dressed as Rimmer from Red Dwarf - i.e. dressed normally but with a big letter H on my forehead to signify that I'm a hologram

Personally, I kept waiting to hear what Emperor Palpatine thought about the whole ordeal...
