A system and method that allows an electronic pen to interact with projected content in midair without the need for a tangible surface. The pen has a holographic projector that is extendible into a position where it forms a holographic surface and a content projector that is oriented to project content onto the holographic surface formed by the holographic projector. The electronic pen body includes a slot dimensioned to house said holographic projector. The holographic projector can be connected to the pen by a mechanical linkage that locks the holographic projector into position. The electronic pen has sensors for detecting and measuring movement of the pen as well as detecting and measuring user contact with the pen to detect and respond to dynamic movements used to interact with the displayed content.
