I've been considering this thought, if augmented reality (superimposing
digital images over the real world by using a transparent headmounted
display) is right around the corner, <bold>why</bold> are we still
working on developing true color holography for public displays and
television? Also I'd like to know your opinions as to which is better
because AR is a step towards uploading where holograms are a step away.
