Didn’t someone make a holographic cube some ten or so years ago with the same promises.

I never get excited by this stuff. If I see it in Best Buy, then I’ll believe it.

Many people have made such devices I think. There's probably a guy somewhere with a shelf full of them.

Yeah, also writing 10 GB of data to rolls of sticky tape in the late 90s. It can be done, but it's not practical.
