project that featured 3D holograms — a technology that is still in the experimental phases today. Their work culminated in the launch of the Atari Cosmos video game console in 1981. Atari promoted the device by asserting that its holographic technology generated realistic 3D visuals on a compact and portable console.
The twist was that the holographic visuals did not influence gameplay at all. Instead, Atari utilized them as game overlays, enabling two 3D images to be projected for each game. The core technology of the console employed industry-standard LEDs on a 7×6 grid to emit light, akin to other basic portable consoles of that era.
