possible to overlay images like this, if the computer needs to provide more data than is available from the camera?

That's not too different in concept from what they are doing for ads on the baseball field right now. Those ads on the wall behind home plate, which you see on TV, are not actually there. (They are superimposed by computer before transmitting to the home. These glaring white ads would present a real danger to the ball players trying to see a crisp fresh white line drive hit off of Sammy Sosa's bat.) And, the step from a two dimensional ad to three dimensions is fairly trivial, I believe.

As for projecting it into real space: At the Federal Reserve Bank in New York they have a gold bar that you can take home with you--if you can pick it up. It is so inviting, and so real, that you can't stop yourself from reaching out to touch it. But then it disappears! It's a hologram.

Just a couple of thoughts from an occasional visitor.
