Just open the file with Preview on OS X and you'll see. Hi Ben,

'The iHologram app was not real. It was an illustration of an idea I had which I believe could work with the technology (combining anamorphosis and motion sensing). Unfortunately I’m just an ideas person, and I can show how things should look, but I’m no hardcore programmer.' O'Riley but what a cool idea! unfortunately his app for the iphone was an illustration of the possibility.
