In this editorial article, I am reviewing a recent publication by a group at Disney Research and the University of Cambridge about an “Holobricks: modular coarse integral holographic displays”. I describe this new system in the context of similar researches done in the past, and the future of 3D display in general.

In this manuscript, I am exploring the technical reasons why an holographic 3D display is such a difficult endeavor, what to expect for the future of 3D displays, and when could we expect to see the emergence of holographic displays.
