the technology was developed by AIST stands for National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology which is japan based research facilities...

Current living space within our eyes can see is 3D and all the things which exist therein are also in the form of 3D objects. There have been a lot of research and discussion both holographic and 3D-images on the Internet, but we hardly ever see "real 3D-images" reproduced from without factoring in constraint like visual field; large equipment, high density laser projection and etc...
as mentioned in AIST research work...the scientist noticed that when laser beams are strongly focused, air plasma emission can be induced only near the focal point. Thereby, they succeeded in the experimental fabrication of a device displaying 2D-images in the air, which are constructed from dot arrays produced using a technique combining a laser light source and galvanometric mirrors. Especially true if this technology has commercial potential which one day ur existing lightsaber will emit a true ray of 3D light rather than a florusecent tube...or even communicate to another person in full size of holographic format just like all the holographic scene we seen in starwars..
