3D images floating in the air

Taking a clue from every Sci-Fi flick ever made, Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has developed a method of projecting three-dimensional images in the air. The system reflects laser light off of mirrors, and focuses that light into a point in the air using a plasma emission phenomenon. The result is pretty darn cool.
