The execs. make a big deal out of it when Jennings presents his display that dosen't require a monitor. But in the opening credits we see him using a 3D holographic interface. wat?

You got me there. I have no idea why they showed something stupid like that.

The 3D projector he used in the beginning when disassembling the computer was huge and quite likely ran off a room of supercomputers.

They were impressed with his fancy 3D projector because it was a tiny laptop and didn't require likely millions of $$$ worth of computer equipment.

when will this technology be available in real life as well?

I'm sure this technology already exist but have no clue when it will be made available to the general public. Guess we'll all have to wait and see huh.

Ask the people who made the Marvel movies.

It's 3D but not 4D. He made a 4D image.

He made an image that factored in relativity? Interesting.

Opinions are just onions with pi in them.

No the 4D is the same dimension plus time (X,Y,Z,t) this mean animated 3D image I think

This is actually a great point.

Perhaps it was the small size and portability of the useless '3D-gimmick' that was considered so impressive.

I mean, maybe you need a big room, fixed-in-place type, somewhat monochromatic projectors to create the holograms he uses, but a portable in-color, tiny hologram is more.. aagh..

..yeah. No, I can't defend it, this movie is just stupid.
