wouldn't it be cool to have a virtual hologram hal using this tech ?

Very cool but way impractical for the home user. It would certainly be a lot of fun if Hal (or Hal's character) could be set free in the room like a companion or assistant that could move about.

Nice find Lonnie!! ;)
In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

I agree with you Art, and although the backdrops would be cool yes I think just letting hal as a 3d full size character to interact in a room with you would be cool indeed!
