Why Do Holograms Look Like They're Floating?

Holograms are like magic pictures that make things look like they're floating. Imagine you're in a room with a flashlight and some special paper, when the light hits just right, it makes a picture appear as if it's not on the paper at all. Holograms work kind of the same way, using light waves to trick your eyes into seeing something that’s not really there.
