Description :

The Cosmos was Atari’s experiment in holographic video gaming technology.     Atari purchased all the rights possible for anything to do with holography and began work on a new tabletop based game which would have allowed 8 different games to work with 8 different holographic “backdrops”.    The games were not actually 3-D holographic games, but moving LED’s behind a transparent holographic image to add more of an environment to the game then just simply a bunch of flashing LED’s on a screen such as handhelds from Mattel Electronics and Coleco Electronics. More info about in the Atary museum, pictures at google search.
