“Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) has developed a device that uses lasers to project real three-dimensional images in mid-air. The institute unveiled the device on February 7 in a demonstration that showed off the device’s ability to project three-dimensional shapes of white light.”

Oh hell yeah.

It’s always nice when you find that things you use in stories are getting closer to being real every day. (Well, okay when the NICE things you use. There’s plenty in my stuff I’m really quite glad is confined to fiction.)
