What is holographic display technology?
Holographic technology is essentially an image that is created from a reflection. The reflection allows the image to be produced in such a way that makes it look like it’s floating on air. In theory, people should be able to interact with this image that’s floating in space. If holographic technology sounds like something that you’ve seen in films, but never thought could be possible in real life, we have to say we were with you. However, BMW seems to be changing the course of what we once thought possible.
Will BMW produce a vehicle with holographic technology?

We’re sure that more detail will be revealed once CES 2017 rolls around – so stay tuned!
