Some years ago, Atari purchased a lot of the patents for holography in 
anticipation of a home game using that technology. The game was never
marketed, and God only knows who has the rights now. Could be Warner, 
Trammiel/Atari Corp., Atari Coin-op(now owned by NAMCO), or the rights
could have been sold to some other company.
