Hologram

A hologram is a three-dimensional image created by a single laser beam which is split and splashed onto the object and projected outward from its origin point. The science of creating a hologram is called holography, a technique that allows the light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed so that it appears as if the object is in the same position relative to the recording medium as it was when recorded. The image changes as the position and orientation of the viewing system changes in exactly the same way as if the object were still present, thus making the recorded image appear three dimensional.

In the sci-fi/horror movie Jason X, the survivors aboard a space station attempted to distract cybernetic serial killer Jason Voorhees by trapping him inside of a virtual reality chamber designed to resemble his old home at Camp Crystal Lake. The plan worked momentarily as Jason fell back on old habits and began smashing holographic teenagers against trees.

In the 2002 sci-fi/horror movie Resident Evil, an artificial intelligence known as the Red Queen took the form of a little English girl. Housed within the Umbrella Corporation's secret underground city known as The Hive, the Red Queen detailed the effects of the T-Virus to a group of security specialists, emphasizing the fact that they would all succumb to the ravages of those infected by the virus.
