Holograms! They're the wave of the future, I guess! These mostly-useless doodads that dominated futurism in the last century are finally becoming a reality, although we aren't quite sure what to do with them. Sure, CNN showed off its mastery of holograms during election night, but what benefit did it provide? Not much. And now, you can own a hologram in a box for some reason.

The Holocube 3D is a little box that can show holograms. It comes in 10-inch, 15-inch, and 17-inch varieties, loaded up with a 40GB hard drive to store your 3D images and video. The starting price is a whopping $9,000, which is pretty steep for something with almost no practical uses. I mean, where do you even get the 3D video you'd need to make this thing worthwhile? Maybe next century we'll find a use for these things.
