Aside from creation of a TASP, Grey Goo, Nuclear war, or a singularity, one of the main fears for the world ending is the creation of a holodeck.
Well, scientists in Japan have created
touchable holograms.
Other interesting tidbit, it uses a Wiimote...

This video is very cool, but I didn't exactly follow. How does the hand "feel" the rain drops? It doesn't, right? Was that just a translation glitch? Is it just that the Wiimotes "sense" where the hand is, and then these smarty researchers have created mathematical possibilities for how the hand would deflect raindrops in a given position?

So no dancing with holographic partners just yet, but a significant step in that direction.
