Cleveland. Feel mah pain.
This week, scientists in Arizona announced they've taken another step toward bringing a sci-fi mainstay to life: the hologram movie.

Unlike the Oscar-winning movie Avatar or animations from Pixar, a hologram movie would be truly three-dimensional. Viewers could actually walk around the image, as if it were a solid object.

"If you look at the object from different angles," says Nasser Peyghambarian, a professor of optics and engineering at the University of Arizona in Tucson, "you see different things because those are different perspectives of that object."

Funding for the research comes, in part, from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force. Peyghambarian says holograms could one day be useful for military training operations.
