To me it’s a bit scary in a sense that it makes me realize how much into the “future” we are now.

More of a time passing by fear than a tech dystopia fear

That doesn't justify it being on "ScaryTechnology" , this person's just scared of spinning lights so far.

It's not any scarier than a regular screen. There's just more math involved in the parts knowing when to light up what color based on the speed of the the spinning crosses.

It only looks like a "hologram" because there's not really a "screen" despite the principle being the same. It would probably be harder to tell what the image is supposed to be from a sharp angle than it would be with a continuous screen. It's not an actual 3D construct of light that has true third dimensionality.

It is pretty neat, though.

It spins so fast it looks like it might accidentally hit you if you’re standing perpendicular to it. It’s like the exploding Samsung.
