I entered the manny, and in seconds I was stepping out of the pod in Howard and Bridget’s apartment. Bridget waved at me from her seat and went back to what she was doing. She appeared to be working on a computer, but the monitor was virtual, floating in the air in front of her. Parts of the image were typical 2D info, but other parts were 3D, and appeared to pop out from the image. It was not only holographic, but also touch-sensitive. I checked my libraries and realized this was a breed of computer called a Canvas. Quite neat. Almost as good as the metaphors we used in virt.
