How many months until someone comes up with an application for this in the adult industry? As with home video and web streaming video, could be another technology accelerated by porn....

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted. There are plenty of non-pornographic applications, but the porn industry could very well accelerate the adoption of this technology. It won't happen in months, no, but I can see holographic porn becoming a reality within 10 years or so.

ha. well, I was mostly joking, but the usefulness of this kind of tele-presence, haptic feedback system, whatever you call it- is going to be determined by how accurate they can make it.
One of the first revenue generating applications that came to mind in which they wouldn't have to make it very accurate would be porn.
