Still do thanks to google:
http://www.google.com/search?q=hologram+projector
More than 1% of the visitors of my site are people coming from google 
looking for a hologram projector... ;)

It was called Icarus.

Icarus has turned into various products at
http://www.thepixelfarm.co.uk/
probably most relevant is PFTrack:

PFTrack has apparently been used by VFX supervisor Dennis Lowe (Cold 
Mountain, Harry Potter), so it seems to be professional alright.

Competitor SynthEyes (http://www.ssontech.com/) has been used in numerous 
major Hollywood productions (http://www.ssontech.com/seenon.htm), so it's 
must be assumed to very professional also.

PFTrack v3:


All prices exclude V.A.T. and taxes.

SynthEyes:
$349

Quite a shame that free Icarus simply disappeared...
