Touchscreen Computer Dispaly Floats in Mid-Air

Now this is sweetness. IO₂ Technology has the coolest display I have ever seen called the M2i. The device projects a 30" diagonal 4:3 aspect ratio display into the air. That's right, into the air like a hologram. The entire projection unit is designed to be hidden out of site so that only the display image shows.

The M2i takes the M2 one step further and adds USB connectivity that allows the floating image to be touch interactive. IO₂ is very specific in saying that the M2 and M2i are not holographic displays. As the manufacturer describes it "Heliodisplay images are not holographic although they are free-space, employing a rear projection system in which images are captured onto a nearly invisible plane of transformed air." I'm mot sure how the air is transformed, but the thing is really cool. No mention of the price, which is never a good omen.
