On election night, CNN presented viewers with cutting-edge "hologram" technology -- 3-d images of guests beamed into the network's studios. The only problem: those images weren't actually holograms. However, scientists say the science of holography is advancing quickly and could change our lives in unexpected ways. Join Kojo as we explore how holograms are being used in everything from data storage to cutting-edge cellular research.
