Obviously very different technologies and possessing different challenges and such, but this reminds me of an article on hack-a-day a couple months back where someone used a transducer array to ...

They may be tiny weapons, but a holography research group has figured out how to create lightsabers -- green for Yoda and red for Darth Vader, naturally -- with actual luminous beams rising from them.

(Nanowerk News) They may be tiny weapons, but BYU’s holography research group has figured out how to create lightsabers — green for Yoda and red for Darth Vader, naturally — with actual luminous beams ...
