Planning to do a design for a cyborg "lab" and figured that the best way 
to handle a display (this is lower tech than you see in say, Deus Ex: 
Human Revolution), is to take a page from... damn, I wish I had 
bookmarked the thing. There was information on a medical equipment site, 
which showed a new system that displayed images, in 3D, over the device, 
in color. It projected them out of the top of the thing, somehow. The 
closest I can find are:

http://pinktentacle.com/2006/02/aist-develops-3d-image-projector/

Which is very similar, but mono-chrome. And:

http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-11/new-holographic-device-can-record-and-display-3-d-holograms-near-real-time

which isn't even close, but definitely neat. In any case, since the tech 
is technically "almost here", its well within allowable ranges for the 
lab. lol The problem is that I had planned to use a spherical camera to 
generate images of various "bionic/cyborg" parts. Well.. I am not at all 
interested in paying $499 for a very good cyborg, never mind a lot of 
money for stuff that is ever shittier. I found a terminator head, which 
was free, which I can probably get an eye out of, and maybe some other 
bits, but I am looking for feasible, and free, other parts. Hands, feet, 
legs, a heart maybe, what ever I can find, so I can make images which I 
can switch out, as needed, in the final result. Figured, POVRay would be 
easiest to render the results, sort of X-Rayish. Any clues where I can 
find myself some parts?
