R2D2-level holograms are still a long way off from infiltrating our homes, but the new Holus holographic display will bring us one step closer.

The tabletop platform consists of a glass pyramid in which a holographic projection can be viewed from four different perspectives, with a 360 degree viewing angle.

Users can connect their smartphones or tablets to Holus, transforming it into a 3D board game, learning tool, realistic fireplace and, well, much more.

Star Wars-style video chats are another possibility, assuming you can get over the fact that the person you’re talking to looks like they’re half a foot tall and trapped in a glass prison.
