But holographic TV, although it might sound like the technology of a sci-fi film, is following closely behind, reports Smarter Technology.

Although the system was used to send live images of a researcher in California to collaborators in Arizona, the display updated only every two seconds, making it much less fluid than today’s televisions. Now, a new holographic system from researchers at MIT Media Lab has a display that updates 15 times per second.
