3D Animations in Mid-Air Using Plasma Balls

Japanese boffins are now making animations by creating small plasma balls in mid-air. The technology doesn't use vapor or strange gases, just lasers to heat up oxygen and nitrogen molecules: up to 1,000 brilliant dots per second, which makes smooth motion possible. They could be used as street signs, advertising or to create giant plasma monsters to destroy entire cities. Maybe


Remember that scene from the beginning of Back to the Future 2, when Marty thought he was going to be eaten by a holographic shark that turned out to be an advertisment for Jaws 75 (or something like that)?

Now with this astonishing advancement in 3D animations, that could actually be a reality sometime in the future. I wonder what else they could use this for?
