Hologram

Holograms were projections of light by a laser beam (TV: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) which cast three-dimensional images used for information storage and communication. Some holograms were also capable of developing sentience or being used to recreate life.

Variations
Holograms were usually projected from a device, meaning that they were generally stationary. Some were mobile, however, and appeared not to be connected to a projector, at least not visibly.

A type of hologram, hologlyphs, could materialise and dematerialise at will or when summoned, could be programmed not to know they weren't real, and could have a solid feel to them as if they were real beings. A hologlyph of a recently deceased person could even be created to acquire as to the last few moments of their life. They were also able to interact with machinery, as Book was able to connect with the lexicon. (AUDIO: ...ish)

Xanxia was able to create a permanent cellular regeneration projection of herself, always nearly complete but forever connected to the real Xanxia whose near-dead body was preserved between two time dams.
