If there's one thing the rich and priviliged of ZAM-Zeta love, it's decorating stuff with organics. Expensive plants & animals, water and air are precious after all. Lotsa higher ups, shops and bars keep aquariums/vivariums, it's fancier than holograms because holograms only need electricity to function.
Btw, after pondering it a bit further, i figure the holograms work more the way they do in Dennou Coil (sweet anime btw, watch it). Not actually via light projection, but via neural stimulus. The visual info gets sent directly to your eyeballs, it's more like a mirage. Your brain get fooled into thinking there's an image there. So if Jemma calls something up via her private Cortex Disk, only she sees it. Everyone else just sees her waving her arms in thin air.
See, this is kinda why visual storytelling is unfit for scifi. Speculative fiction requires so much footnote information… I would need to intercept the story just to give you several pages of exposition on how this world works. :U

I'm just thinking about the fun you could have filming everyone interacting with their private holos, then overdubbing something else that seems to fit their actions and publicly broadcasting it.
