"I'm a fairly visual thinker. In doing science, I think in terms of pictures of things happening, and then do the mathematics."

| Telestereo | ||
| A disk, upon which the projected image of the distant sender appears. |
You couldn't ask for a more accurate description of a hologram, provided here by Jan Tor, Captain of Interplanetary Patrol Cruiser 79388.
| Abruptly I was aroused from my musings by the sharp ringing of a bell at my elbow. "The telestereo," I said to Hal Kur. "Take the controls." As he did so I stepped over to the telestereo's glass disk, inset in the room's floor, and touched a switch beside it. Instantly there appeared standing upon the disk, the image of a man in the blue and white robe of the Supreme Council, a lifesize and moving and stereoscopically perfect image, flashed across the void of space to my apparatus by means of etheric vibrations. Through the medium of that projected image the man himself could see and hear me as well as I could see and hear him, and at once he spoke directly to me. |
