That sounds just like a hologram.

Hologram images can appear to float in front of a glass plate, or they can
appear to float behind a glass plate, or they can do both, with some parts
of the image extending right through the glass plate.

[note added by MadSci Admin:  Do an Internet search (such as
Google) on "hologram" and you can find tons of information!]
