light pretending to have depth, and somehow pulling it off completely.

means A three-dimensional image created by recording the interference pattern of laser light, so it appears to have real depth and shifts as you change your viewing angle.

from From Greek 'holos' (whole) plus 'gramma' (something written or drawn) — literally 'the whole message.' The word was coined in the late 1940s by physicist Dennis Gabor, who developed the theory of holography (work that later won him a Nobel Prize), though the vivid laser-lit holograms most people picture only became practical in the 1960s once the laser arrived to supply the coherent light Gabor's idea needed.
