some sort of fake or mockup? some AR bullshit? has japan figured out holograms well enough that they can mass produce them for use in random crosswalks?

That one seems to be fake or a mockup.
There are conceptually similar but much less cool holographic stop signs at some tunnels or low bridges in Europe. But that mpd response seems to imply that there are none in japan.

You need something to project onto like water or fog, right? Like with a laser pointer, you can't see the whole laser just the endpoint. Unless they've made some huge technological leap recently.

yeah that's the explicit intention of the technology, prevent people from entering something with a big sign that doesn't kill them if they miss it.

Right, but I mean that it's not technologically feasible to do that CGI mockup that was posted. The crosswalk would have to be full of fog or something to project the laser show onto it.

Yes that is how seeing light works. it has to reflect off of something for you to see it, or you'd have to be looking at the light's source.

I once had someone explain to me that staring at the sun is good because it kills the weak cells in your retinas allowing new stronger cells to grow and make your vision better. I didn't take that advice.
