So after this is perfected, you could grab my image, make it look like I was the person who held up a bank and shot a hostage, and all the eyewitnesses would say it was me, and could give a positive ID? What would hidden security cameras show?

They would probably show a crew of tens of people installing a mirror system, cameras, sound, etc etc in the bank, and then a half-translucent image of you (maybe) coming in and awkwardly robbing it, if the tellers were in on it and had rehearsed beforehand so the recording of you could look in sync with their actions. Also, they couldn't hand you any objects.

It'd be easier for someone with a balaclava to rob the bank and plant the money in your house before an "anonymous tip", really.

That is today's version. 20 years ago the equivalent of an iPad 3 was $400,000 dollars and consumed 3 kilowatts continuously.
