hologram are here . At least that ’s whatMicrosoft wants you to thinkwith its HoloLens headset and Windows Holographic software system . But holograms are no new thing , especially if you deliberate the pot of science fiction fodder that has been dedicated to the subject .
I asked you all last weekwhat was your favorite hologram , fictional or otherwise , of all time . Some were must - have selection and others were a petty more far afield , and some of ( at least what I think ) were iconic holograms were n’t even mentioned . Here are the nine hologram that ofttimes held the top spot in your fondness .
The Coctor , also make out as the EMH Mark 1 , was a hologram created specifically for emergency scenarios . Of of course , almost the intact Star Trek : Voyager show is an emergency scenario , so this glorified aesculapian assistant became a full - fledged member of the enterprise .

A 3D holographical arcade game in 1991 may seem excessively ambitious — that ’s because it was . Sega ’s Time Travelerwas 99 percent presentation and 1 percent gameplay , but the idea was a nerveless one . Unfortunately , it had to go up against the most popular arcade plot at the time , Street Fighter II . Let ’s just say it was an easy K.O. for Capcom .
Al Calavicci is an interesting hologram instance , since he ’s in reality a real someone but come along to protagonist Samuel Beckett as a project observer as Sam navigate through several time - based risky venture . thespian Dean Stockwell is also just great in general , even if it ’s as justa creepy dude inBlue Velvetor one of my personal favourite cylons on the remaking of Battlestar Galactica .
Who say holograms ca n’t be comic ? This hologram was produce after his jumpy and much detest namesake , Arnold Rimmer , died in a radiation therapy leakage . He was branded with the letter “ H ” and became the companion of Dave Lister , three million years later .

So this may be a controversial filling since Hatsune Miku , the “ real ” Nipponese icon who really is n’t literal at all , utilize thePepper ’s touch conjuration , similar to that noted Tupac holograph . But this patrician - hirsute Anime pop star is such a strange ethnical example of our love of holograph - ish things , it sense deplorable not to include her … or “ it”? .. or … I do n’t experience .
When you were blasting away at grunts or going toe - to - toe with an Elite ( or even worse , The Flood ) , Cortana was the calming guiding spokesperson behind your mission . Really , she was Master Chief ’s only friend , whose adherence may someday mimic the bond between us and the naturalistic AI that technology dreams up . Cortana has only grown nigher to our nerve with her integration into Windows Phone , and presently , Windows 10 .

James Moriarty is one of my favorite holograms Star Trek ever daydream up , and that ’s really saying a circle . Moriarty was originally create in the episode “ Elementary , Dear Data ” as a possible enhancer that could rival Data ’s consuming android reason . The event was an hologram and AI that was so impudent , that he was able-bodied to discern he was a holograph and begin plan his outflow from the confines of the Enterprise ’s holodeck . There is research that suggestswe are all just float in a holograph , so cut down Moriarty some slack — we could have more in common with him than you ’d think .
This is one of the few holograms on this inclination that does n’t sample to get into a homo - same form , and you may say what you want about Prometheus ( a “ big permit down ” would be appropriate ) but man did that conniption look great . But the substantial understanding I love this vista so much is the subtle extension to a large picture by Joseph Wright of Derby calledAPhilosopher lecture on the Orrery . Well , that and it just appear cool .
Well , this one is pretty self - explanatory .

famous smuggler - ups : Visionaries , Jem and the Holograms , and that one time Arnold Schwarzenegger was a hologram in Total Recall .
