Meet Holoflector, an augmented-reality mirror that uses a combination of Kinect and Windows Phone to "infer the position of your phone and render graphics that seem to hover above it," according to Microsoft.

With this setup, you could conduct a video call with someone and hold the projected image of that person in the palm of your hand. Skeletal tracking data captured by Kinect makes it possible to track your appendages and movements. Watch this shiny Holoflector hands-on video, which shows off a "holographic video call."
