Check out Light Blue Optics, they're a Cambridge-based start-up that has some interesting holographic laser projection technology. http://www.lightblueoptics.com/ They were on my radar a couple of years ago when I was looking at mobile projection stuff. The problem with all these mobile projection technologies is the power consumption. Anyway, they've raised a significant amount of venture capital since I last looked at them - a $26M Series A... Getting a Series A of that size away is a really tough thing to do in the UK. So, they at least have a shot at going places now (although it's a pretty competitive area). If their technology and ability-to-execute are up to scratch, they should have the resources to do something interesting. Yes.
