Heliodisplay images are not holographic although they are free-space, employing a rear projection system in which images are captured onto a nearly invisible plane of transformed air. What the viewer sees is floating mid-air image or video. These projected images and video are two-dimensional, (i.e. planar) but appear 3D since there is no physical depth reference. While conventional displays have the benefit of being attached to a physical substrate, Heliodisplay projections are suspended in air, so you will notice some waviness to the quality of the projections.
You don't need anything to display a hologram on, techniques to display them in thin air have been shown before..

They still use air currents to display them on. And even today they don't look super realistic like you would have to have to fool dozens of witnesses. IO2 Technology recently came out with the heliodisplay. It's 2 dimensional but LOOKS three dimensional.
