Ok... Ive always pictured them as a small tray-like object that when
activated, showed a complete 3dimentional hologram on it. I've read a
few SR novels, and think that that could be where i get my ideas from,
but hey, if someone can explain it properly, please do so!

Now for these i had the idea of like a Video sized Box, and a 3d image
ontop of it. There was actually a lifesized 3d hologram of a boxer at
a Japanese Show a few years ago... that kinda sounded like it,
although that one was green only. You could probably get really large
screens, like a few metres wide, deep and high. Again, this is my
enterpretation, and Im willing to get brought up to speed on how it
REALLY is!

Hope this helps,
