Like... the see through glass screens are a legibility nightmare they think looks cool and makes a set easier to film through right? Do they know it is pretty impractical and unlikely in most use cases, but are just trying to be cool with people who don't think about it?
And holograms where the light is just projecting in mid air isn't a thing either as far as I can imagine. Like a droid couldn't just come and use light to show you something 3D midair...
Which leads me to: I find it annoying so many projection techniques are being called holograms when they're really just using glass, various gas or fog, or physical beads to project on in a contained space. Most of them are made of some 2D reflections on glass like the dumb ones where a celeb like Elvis performs on stage but it's just a video reflection. And the 3D ones often need special gas or molecules or beads being suspended in a box or glass to show up.
Feels like those electric skateboards being called a "hoverboard" for no reason at all.
I know, some of you will just say "forgive everything because sci-fi is fake and much of it is impossible in general!" To that I say, I still wish they'd do better.
