Holographic Taxi

The first thing I noticed in the taxi today was a giant hologram on the ceiling. When you tilt your head back just so, you see images of nine Buddhas on clay tablets, and if you lean your head just a bit the other way, three rows of seated monks come into view. Not only did the hologram help bring the images of the Buddhas and monks to life, it transformed the everyday experience of riding in a taxi into a mystical moment.
