  well, I'm looking for 3D holographic (volumetric) projectors that can be used for architectural design displays, a device I can connect to my laptop n display my designs with...

  It's a Hologram

  Holograms do not need lasers. They use many mediums of projection and materials to project on. They also do not have to be fully 3-D, as those 3-D projections are actually called volumetric displays.

  @ steve:
  Of course thee were lasers involved, do you not know how holograms work? I find it hard to believe that someone who works with holograms does not know how they work!

  Not only are there no lasers involved, it is not a hologram. Basically it is a projection -- probably video, possibly film -- onto a water-spray screen.
  
  
  The image shown has too much interior detail to be laser (as in "laser show"). Laser show images usually are cartoon-like outlines. This image is far too detailed and subtle; it looks like video or film.
  
  
  And it is not holographic because there is no 3D involved. It is a series of 2D images; e.g., movie or video, which is projected onto a screen. People think it is a hologram because you can see through it like Princess Leia coming from R2D2. But sorry, you get the same effect by projecting onto a translucent screen video of a subject as the camera moves around it. Since you see "all sides" it may appear to be 3D, but really it is only sequential 2D images.
  
  
  (For completeness, there is a tiny possibility the projector could use lasers to generate light that is modulated by a video signal. This would not involve galvanometer scanners like a "Laserium" type laser light show but simply would be a laser-powered video projector.)

  I doubt there are any lasers involved. I worked with Labyrinth and Dogfish-Solutions in London, UK and we were the originators of monumental guerilla projection onto buildings etc as a marketing tool - for example the FHM girls onto the Houses of Parliament. We used a digital movie projector to fire the image into the spray - no need for lasers. We also did many water screen projections across Europe to promote movies and products starting back in the late 90's. This does look great though - well done.

  Does that remind anyone of the ad for Jaws in Back To The Future 2!
