Interesting fact: The floating "holopane" controls aren't actually science fiction any more.
Well I'll be damned... floating 3D displays do exist! Very cool.
Actually, I always thought that these weren't "displays" but more the traditional "Big Board" similar to the glass ones used in war rooms in the SAC "Strategic Air Command" or Pentagon type situations to manually track and update troop/tank/battleship/air support movements.
Mainly an exposition device in films, I'm not sure if they're actually used in real life.
