That thing is equal to the first television in 1927. Antiques.

My version was invented in 1982. I called it a Holographic Materializer. Using a hologram as a "map" or pattern, atoms and molecules would be "sprayed" into the hologram area and the particles would rest in their appropiate places forming whatever object out of any material you would like. Thus making garbage dumps and landfills the most desired resource for all the chemical elements are there. At the landfill would be the de-materializer breaking substance down to atoms and particles and storing them for use in the H.I.M. or HIM...holographic instant materializer.

I'm not associated with them, but I like their business model. Definitely aimed at the consumer market.

It's always supposed to be coming out in the next 6 months; in 2007 they promised it for the first quarter of 2008; now they're talking about 2009, but don't hold your breath...

It just seems totally uncreative in affect.
