holographic
I think one might call that some form of "projection", rather than holography.
Celluon has been marketing a device that does the same thing, (now for your iPad) since the mid 2000s…

Projected and/or holographic keyboards would work in much the same way. A laser scans the keyboard area and detects your finger positions. From a hardware standpoint, not tremendously challenging. The software would be more challenging, since the system would have to recognize a key press motion, and differentiate between that and other types of movements your fingers naturally make when typing.
