Heh can't post an image till i implent it and i don't like
to implement till i have everything fleshed out (that includes
keywords, its the software developer in me)
.. also forgot to add following keywords (for security/tv monitor
functions)

[flatten [angle float]] 

I'll try to explain better
okay instead of having a pattern and color map to determin the color
of the object, it takes the incoming ray.. transforms it with the 
pigments transformations and warps then traces a new ray in the
scene using the transformed ray. Applys the resulting color
as the pigment... 

Hologram is too limiting though... hmm maybe transmission 
(from TV or Hologram transmissions) but would that be 
confused with transmit?

another possiblity is to call it portal (ie Unreal's Portals for
those that play and it works along the same idea as that game's
portals)

well at least you got me to think of a couple more possibilties 
to call it.
