As part of my research for my final project, I looked up some info on holographic projection, because I'm not crazy about head-mounted-displays (HMDs) or even stereo glasses--ultimately I'm thinking Holodeck! There are some promising developments in this area, that can be read about at the following links:
A Holographic Animation System
Holographic-like Sterogram Display
Summary of these papers: It is currently possible to project a 3D image into a 3D space, through the use of an LCD projector, a diffraction grating, a moveable mirror, and a holographic screen. The major limitation right now is how far in front of the screen the image can be projected--right now that distance is less than 10cm.

Forgive me if this sounds too basic, but there's a handy rule of thumb (well, actually law of physics) about holography:
A holographic image can appear "projected" way in front of the holographic screen, or way behind, but the viewer must always be looking through the screen itself. There must be a line-of-sight relationship between the eye, the screen, and the image.
The press has a long history of confusing holography from "holgraphy." There are some very cool examples of each out there.
Hope this helps.
