It's the same special effects they use to super impose people in movies and television.

ONLY IN REAL TIME.

That's pretty cool, but it doesn't really have any bearing on the idea of holograms other than the fact the the special effect was made to look that way. It's like watching Back to the Future and getting excited about hoverboards; no, they're special effects.

Cool to watch, but not really real... that kinda sucks.

I was just watching Red Dwarf, too...

Ahem.

Telepresence, by Cisco.

That may or may not be what it is, but it's still not a Hologram.

What's your point?

The cameras tracking her are tracking in 3 dimensions, and she's being projected in 3 dimensions. You can't really see it because of seeing it from a fixed view.

I know. She explained that.
It's still an awesome concept, though.
