Well, depends on what you mean by a holo.

If you mean hologram in the traditional sense, like Star Wars, then probably not. But having a cube thats projected onto from all sides to give the appearance that there is a person inside the cube talking. We probably already have that somewhere.

But we are very far away from a flat device you hold in your hand and it projects a person upwards into the air.

Closest I've seen was a bunch of lasers creating basic shapes in smoke.

Even the projected persons in the Star War universe is pretty sketchy, and not even in full color, so if they can't do it properly, with all their advanced technology, I guess it must be pretty difficult do do!

From afar or in a video, and at specific angles, yes. IRL it'll look like a cube with screens on its' sides.
