    Imagine this, a custom block that when placed projects a 3x3 hologram that you can then type on like a display module, or even add images of a ship blueprint, a map, chats, ect.

    The hologram would be flat. If you placed the block on the ground it would project the hologram vertically above the block, and if you placed it on a wall it would project in front of the block along the wall.

    You could connect more hologram blocks to extend the hologram vertically or horizontally or both.

    The hologram could be toggled on and off.

    In essense I love this, but to make it "realistically expectable" (the above suggestion is unlikely to happen) just give us the option to select the offset for the text on a display module (or give us a transparent one), and possibly extend the character count to 512 (and the newlines to 15). With these changes we could build holo displays of arbitrary size, and they would work well even with just the basic display block functionality.
