In February 2016, a video purportedly showing a group of children reacting to an incredible 7D hologram reproduction of a surfacing whale demonstrated inside a school gymnasium was shared on social media: The video was originally created by a company called Magic Leap in order to demonstrate the potential capabilities of their technology. While the Magic Leap device is still shrouded in mystery, several articles written about the technology explain that it's a wearable device which deals in mixed reality, layering unreal, virtual objects over real, tangible ones. Users will be required to wear something over their eyes (similar to Google Glass or Microsoft's HoloLens) in order to see three-dimensional virtual imagery: As the children in the video are not wearing any sort of special headgear, we can assume that they did not actually witness a hologram whale splashing through their gym floor. Even if they were actually seeing it, the whale would appear in the usual three dimensions, not seven.
