Gestures Control Life-Sized Holograms

Tokyo-based LM3Labs created AirStrike, which lets you use gestures and hand motions to interact with life-sized holograms. (Read the LM3Labs write-up on their Catchyoo blog and also see posts in Fresh Creation and Engadget ).

The closest I've come to seeing holograms in a dance setting is when I wrote about the holographic image of Kate Moss that was projected on the runway of the 2006 Ready-to-Wear fashion show in Paris.

I would appreciate learning about dancers and other artists who are working with holograms.
