When ordinary light, whether it comes from science fiction projectors or a magic spell, seems to have (or really does have) actual substance, it's Hard Light. Hard light objects behave like any other object — chairs support weight, bullets kill, razors shave, and so forth. An illusory person made of Hard Light can pick up real things and interact physically with real people, even though they don't technically exist.
Strictly speaking, hard light is not holography. A hologram is a sort of three-dimensional projection. It is not solid. If something is solid, it is, by definition, not a hologram.
That said, it's easy to imagine holography being used in tandem with some other technology (Deflector Shields, perhaps) to produce a projection which seems solid to observers. The Holographic Terminal in its "real world" form comes to mind.
People will usually refer to these constructs as "holograms" for the sake of convenience. If the holograms only seem to manipulate reality because Your Mind Makes It Real, see Cyberspace. Can be used to create a Virtual Training Simulation. Often involves a Holodeck Malfunction. See also Hologram Projection Imperfection for when holograms don't work properly and have visual static or other glitches.
See Ride the Rainbow if your Hard Light is a rainbow. If your ray of light is not only hard, but also hot and has incredible cutting powers, you've got yourself a Laser Cutter. See also Pure Energy.

Due to the massive scale of Genshin Impact, the topic of hard light is best broken down by the noting the different ways the principal nations of Teyvat use it.
Mondstadt: Hard light isn't common in the Green Hill Zone nation of Mondstadt, but it is curiously found in the dilapidated ruins that make up the lair of Stormterror.
Liyue: Hard light is used in the Domains of the Adepti to bridge floating islands, and can be activated or deactivated by switches scattered throughout that control the rotation of these floating islands allowing the Traveler to navigate the Domains and accomplish the challenges set forth by the various Adepti.
Enkanomiya: Hard light forms barriers called the Shield-Lights of Tokoyo, which are dispelled or formed when the Traveler alters the underground realm's day and night cycle using the Dainichi Mikoshi. Hard light also forms bridges between the islands which make up the haunted Advanced Ancient Acropolis.
Sumeru: In Sumeru's far western desert region, there is a vast underground network linking various temples and pyramids that date back to the reign of the ancient King Deshret (aka The Scarlet King or Al-Ahmar), a rival god of wisdom who once collaborated with the previous Dendro Archon to save Sumeru (and possibly all of Teyvat) from an outbreak of The Corruption brought on by unlocking the secrets of forbidden Divine Knowledge. Throughout King Deshret's ruins there exist numerous hard light structures forming mazes, with floors and walls forming as the Traveler walks up to them, along with massive obelisks and plinths activated by glowing spiky Power Source orbs that are set alight with Tron Lines thanks to King Deshret's Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology.
Celestia: The very beginning of the game has the twins Aether and Lumine flying through a Fluffy Cloud Heaven when they're ambushed and detained by the Unknown God, who uses red and black hard light cubes to detain the duo and kidnap the chosen Traveler's sibling kick-starting the whole adventure as a Roaring Rampage of Rescue.

White supremacist supervillain Purity from Worm can manifest "kinetically-charged" light that she uses for blasts and flight.
The members of New Wave (who just happen to be a biologically-related family) all have variations on light and hard light manipulation as their superpower.
The heroine Ursa Aurora can manifest hard light bears to fight for her.

In Sunrider, the ancient Ryuvians had such technology. This is best shown when the Seraphim, an ancient Ryuvian Ryder, creates two (actually three) holographic duplicates of itself which all prove to be just as solid—and deadly—as the real thing. Veniczar Arcadius also seems to possess this technology, as he attended his own wedding ceremony via hologram yet was still able to shoot and kill the father of the bride.

In Rocketship Voyager, Janeway and Chakotay have a This Cannot Be! reaction to the holographic beach on the Array, as it has water you can swim in and even fish you can eat. Everyone gets a shock when the Caretaker's mooks suddenly turn it off, and all the people swimming in or sailing on the ocean find themselves thrashing about on a metal deck in a much smaller space than they thought they were in.

Making things even more confusing, in Metroid Fusion, the power is indeed cut... while Samus is standing on one. Oddly, she doesn't fall like you would anticipate. Apparently the future averts No OSHA Compliance. The Federation elevators may be technology that's different from but similar in superficial (read: game graphics) appearance to the Chozo elevators on Zebes.

In Justice League, Luminus escapes from prison, and uses his technology to surround Flash with holograms. Flash, used to this trick with Mirror Master, thinks that they're just holograms and apparently doesn't fall for it, except, as those who've watched STAS would know, they're pretty solid. Ass kicking ensues. This doesn't explain why his holograms react to being punched by falling or flying across the room, as this means they must have been programmed to do that, for some reason. Otherwise, it should have been either a No-Sell (even from Superman) or result in the hand passing through the hologram.

Wonder Woman:
During The Golden Age of Comic Books, Paula's Space Transformer created hard light recreations of things that have occurred, and sometimes things which will occur, on the platform it projects onto when it's not being treated as an outright time travel machine.
Wonder Woman (1987): The original Dr. Psycho's ability was to create things out of "psychoplasmic energy", which were hard constructs of light (referred to as "ectoplasim" due to their origin) which faded out once he wasn't concentrating on them, using a medium who was knocked out once under his sway so he'd have enough psychic power on hand to create his constructs without draining himself.
Wonder Woman (1987): Julian Lazarus' experiments are focused on creating hard light constructs with an artificial ai and appearance derived from a program observing recordings of living or deceased beings with a little input by Dr. Lazarus and his assistants. He doesn't have it down yet and the constructs are prone to violent explosions when exposed to unexpected physical contact, which ends up blowing up his lab and killing his son.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has Miguel O’Hara, who is not like the majority of the Spider-Society, Miguel's suit and webbing are hard light constructs, providing him a measure of versatility the others lack. The suit can shift to create blades, claws, and a wingsuit, and the webbing isn't affected by outside forces in the same way physical webbing is (for example, strong winds and gravity). Unfortunately for him, it also means Miles can drain his suit away through physical contact, which he can't do with the other Spiders.

Final Fantasy VII's prequel, Crisis Core, in which Shinra has training programs that are essentially holograms. What makes that this Trope is that the holograms can completely imitate the physical qualities of the object. For example, Sephiroth's sword will actually cut you, even though it's not the real Sephiroth. Also, somehow, it creates its own arid desert.

Final Fantasy XIV:
In Shadowbringers, Dohn Mheg is an elaborate illusion of the Fuath's weaving that takes the form of their "kingdom" beneath the waters of Longmirror Lake. Although it's all technically a series of glamours, the "land" within is tangible as are the vicious monsters that line the paths along the way. Emet-Selch overlays a similar glamour over the ruins of Amaurot in the Tempest along with facsimiles of his fallen people who each have limited ability to make conversation and respond as though they were living people.
The 2022 Starlight Celebration introduces Blitzen, a magical reindeer with the ability to produce glamours for the sake of children. Unlike most glamours which are purely illusions, Blitzen's glamours are tangible. The mount provided at the end of the event's storyline is a glamour of Blitzen's making that can be ridden into the sky and produce the same glamours that he does.

The Thunderbolts heroine Songbird does something that is equivalent to this, using a device to create constructs out of "Hard Sound". Note that her powers resemble those of the older villain Klaw (from Fantastic Four), to the point of being the same color (red). Most likely, the same technology was used.

The various Green Lantern characters have always been able to create structures like this with their power rings. Originally, it was just simple structures of green light, but they've gotten more complex and multichromatic as time goes on. Pre-Crisis, this was called "psychoplasmic energy", i.e., energy that responded to the will of sentient beings. Post-Crisis, it's actually a form of psionic energy that's visible as colors that represent particular emotions or drives for... some reason.

In Fallout: New Vegas, however, the DLC Dead Money introduces the Holorifle, which does have a kill impulse. It works by shooting a scattering of holographic cubes that does a crap-ton of damage even when the gun is loaded with low-grade bulk cells. Dead Money also has security holograms, which can attack the player but are invulnerable themselves. You have to destroy their projector to get rid of them.

Mario Party 8: The minigame Picture Perfect has two Shy Guys turn each one projector, whose images are segmented into rotating panels Rubik-style. The image at the left is divided into four parts, and one player has to use a remote gun to solidify them, causing them to stop and make it so all parts assemble a holographic image shown at the center. The three rival players have to do the same thing with the projected image at the right, only it's divided into nine parts, so they need good coordination so they can stop them and efficiently assemble the desired solid image. Both the solo player and the rival trio have 20 seconds to assemble the current image, and if time runs out another image will be requested. The solo player wins if they manage to form three full images before the rival trio does, and vice versa; but if five rounds pass and neither side manages to assemble three images, the minigame ends in a tie.

Red Dwarf is the Trope Namer.
Virtual Ghost Rimmer became tangible in Series 6 via a "hard light drive". In this case, the hard light drive is not only better than his old soft light drive but better than regular life itself, since it makes him more or less indestructible (though still able to feel pain) and immune to aging — well, aside from the human aging of actor Chris Barrie. Downside: extremely power intensive, so it cannot be done indefinitely.
However it's been seen since that "virtually indestructible", as Legion described hard light, is an extremely generous description. Ace Rimmer and Howard Rimmer, both hard light holograms, were killed by a shot to the light bee in Series 7 and 10, respectively. The first one with a World War II-era rifle, even. We also know that millions and millions of hard light Ace Rimmers have died in the line of duty across countless dimensions.
In the episode 'Demons and Angels,' an evil copy of the pre-hard light Rimmer uses a holo-whip to attack Lister. Presumably this is an early incarnation of the technology that eventually became hard light several centuries later.
In "The Promised Land", Rimmer gets a second upgrade to "Diamond Light", which turns him into (essentially) a superhero. The power demands are even greater, and he ends up burning out his light-bee battery, leaving him in worse shape than he started.

Seen throughout The Seventh Tower series by Garth Nix. The Chosen make use of sunstones — growing crystals that absorb the sun's energy — to do everything, from building, making music, weapons, to creating suits of armor and rainbow-colored stairs to escape a large pit. Sunstones are even used as decoration, heating, and jewelry. Since the sunstones are never described as anything more than powerful battery packs that store energy, which is used in the form of light beams, it falls under this trope.

At one point in Funny Business, Jeannette makes ambient sunlight solid in order to stop a lightning bolt from striking herself and her friend. What she didn't take into account is that this makes all light everywhere solid, and so the whole earth would have been crushed by ever-depositing layers of sunlight if she had not pressed the Reset Button real quick.

Dark Souls:
It turns out that every monster in Anor Londo is actually an illusion created by Gwyndolin, save for Ornstein, Smough, the Painting Guardians, and possibly the Mimics. There's subtle hints to this throughout the environment, such as the Batwing Demons using lightning spears despite just about all other demons using chaos weaponry, and only the Painting Guardians attempt to heal with Estus flasks. You still gain souls from them, and at least some of their equipment is substantial (i.e. they drop swords, shields, and some armor) but the monsters cease to exist if you kill the illusion of his sister Gwynevere, which angers Gwyndolin enough for him to dispel the other illusions and send his servants after you. Since there's no way to kill Gwynevere before facing them, it's entirely possible that even Ornstein and Smough are illusions as well.
The Moonlight Greatsword, a weapon that appears in several FromSoftware games, has a tiny physical blade that projects a blade of solid magical moonlight. The sword is lightweight for its size since its physical component is the size of a dagger and it deals pure magic damage. The sword reappears in the the sequel with the same properties and a slightly different appearance. Another sword, the Bluemoon Greatsword, has the same appearance as the Moonlight Greatsword from the first game, and its wielder Benhart believes that it is the same legendary sword. The sword's weight and lack of magic damage make it clear that it's just a forgery.

Shallan Davar of The Stormlight Archive has the power of Lightweaving, creating illusionary images out of light. At first the images are incorporeal which limits the ways she can use them. By the climax of Oathbringer she's starting to work out how to combine her Lightweaving with her second power of Soulcasting, transforming one substance into another, which makes her illusions more solid and better able to resist enemy soldiers.

This seems to be the underlying principle behind "digistruction" technology in Borderlands. It can be used to instantly conjure vehicles, turrets, duplicates of yourself, or even a new body for yourself when you die (though that particular use is strictly a game mechanic— in story, death is permanent). Tediore manufactures digistructed guns that shapeshift into grenades after running out of ammo, after which you can simply spawn a fully loaded one from the holster (though they're noted to be of pretty low quality).

The Legend of Zelda:
The light arrows in several games seem to be composed of solid light energy.
The access to Ganon's floating castle in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a bridge made of light (created by the sages Link awakened).
And some stairs and platforms in the Tower of the Gods, in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
The stairs in the Temple of Time in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; also the bridges in the Twilight Realm as well as the bridge to the Twilight Realm. The Sword of the Sages, with which they failed to execute Ganondorf and latter then took for his own use, also appears to be made of the same.
Ancient Sheikah Magitek frequently uses this in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The Remote Bomb rune makes either square or round bombs depending on Link's needs that appear to be light constructs, and the fact that they are Hard Light rather than traditional combustible explosives explains why you can't use them to light fires. Guardian weapons and shields also employ this, having the sword blades, axe/spear/arrow heads, and shields go into and out of "combat mode" like a Laser Blade, but still function and perform identically to a standard metal one. Lastly, the elevators into the Shrines and the Monks waiting at the end are contained in Hard Light barriers.

Halo:
The Forerunners were quite fond of using hard light; examples in the first game alone include the Index (which can exist in a physical form that can be handled by ordinary organics, but can also be downloaded by AIs like Cortana and Guilty Spark and stored as electronic data), as well as light bridges.
The Heretic Leader in Halo 2 has holograms that can wield weapons and be hit by projectiles; the prevailing theory is that those were Forerunner devices given to him by 343 Guilty Spark.
Halo 4 and The Forerunner Saga reveal that the Forerunners even used hard light to create weapons, ships, and even buildings. In fact, almost all of the structures you see on Requiem are made of hard light (shooting them will produce a distinctive pattern which is quickly "healed"); it's almost perfectly disguised to look like regular metal and glass, to the point where its unnaturally perfect symmetry, cleanliness, and brightness are what give it away.
Its prevalence is justified as well: Forerunners have mastered harnessing unimaginably vast amounts of vacuum energy, to the point that energy is no longer just something to make their (undoubtedly highly consumptive) machines work, it's now one of their most useful and common building materials. And that it's so durable that Cortana was able to immediately erect a shield of Hard Light around Master Chief to protect him after he had manually detonated a nuclear warhead.

Steven Universe:
Gems and Gem monsters have gemstones for Gem Hearts and the rest of their bodies are made of light, as are their weapons and other constructs. They can still interact like corporeal beings, but whenever they're 'killed' their body bursts into a cloud of light, leaving their gem behind—if left unbubbled, the gem will (eventually, the process takes time) project a new body.
Holo-Pearl is also capable of holding physical objects such as swords and umbrellas, and, when sent flying by an attack, rolls across the ground in a very solid manner. Despite this, she also displays visual glitching and, as her name indicates, is simply a projection from Pearl's gem. She simply has to be solid to serve as Pearl's sparring partner.
Some time after the rebellion thousands of years ago, the Homeworld Gems developed "destabilizers", weapons that can instantly destroy a Gem's hard light body. Fortunately for the heroes, these weapons are effectively glorified joy buzzers to organic beings like Steven.
When Steven is separated from his Gem in "Change Your Mind", the Gem generates a pink Hard Light version of Steven around itself. Unlike most of the other Gems' bodies, "Pink Steven" actually looks like he's made of light.

They're not typing on anything physical - the sense of touch is caused by haptic gloves or subdermal implants. Tech Armor plates are warping fields that disrupt incoming fire, and are illuminated to warn comrades not to get too close. The third game's Laser Blade is just a warning light so you don't burn or cut yourself with the real weapon, which is an ultra-thin transparent blade of flash-forged silicon.
The Pinnacle Station in the DLC of the same name for the first game is more or less identical to the TNG Holodeck as described. It uses light projections to create the visuals, and kinetic barriers (the ME equivalent to force-fields) to allow it to interact with real people.

In Super Powereds, Angela Desoto is able to make temporary solid objects out of light and manipulate them. Her usual choices include armor, shields (the medieval kind), and various blades. It's no surprise that she's been at the top of her class for four years straight. Her power is inherited from her grandfather, the first costumed Hero named Captain Starlight.

The Lightbringer Series is a satisfyingly in-depth fantasy treatment of this. Mages are exclusively called 'drafters,' who can create and shape 'luxin' of various colors into physical objects and effects (walls, bridges, weapons, bursts of flame, etc.) with a lot of room for cunning tricks of engineering. Most drafters work in one color, some can work in two, a rare few can use three or more, and the Prism (ruler of the Seven Satrapies) uses all of them with phenomenal endurance. Drafters who channel too much luxin in their lifetimes willingly remake their own bodies with implanted luxin structures in an especially literal application of this trope; other uses of luxin still qualify because luxin deteriorates into light and evaporates unless it is 'sealed.' Finally, drafting ability partially depends on the ability to perceive subtle nuances of color, giving females a statistical advantage.

Naturally, being a homage to Star Trek, Seth MacFarlane's The Orville has holodecks show up several times, although they haven't (yet) proved important to the plot. The Ace Pilot Gordon Malloy is a big fan of holo-recreation. His introductory scene has Ed walk into Gordon, dressed as a samurai, fighting an ogre in a Japanese village. Gordon even made sure to give the ogre a friendly personality. Another episode starts with Ed, Gordon, and John engage in a Wild West scenario, where they play as a trio of cowboys riding up to the lair of a bandito. Except Gordon has slightly modified the scenario, much to Ed and John's chagrin. Instead of a shootout, the bandito leader challenges the cowboys to a dance-off.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, the holograms are marketed as "Solid Vision with mass", as they are solid enough to interact with. The trope was Deconstructed later in the series due to the fact that a lot of people were shown getting hurt due to the technology. The Fusion Dimension takes it further and turns the game into a weapon of war, and they've already laid waste to the Xyz Dimension.

In the Soviet sci-fi two-part film Moscow — Cassiopeia, the relativistic starship ZARYa is equipped with the so-called Surprise Chamber, which allows the teenage crew to recreate different Earth locations.

Sonic the Comic: In a one-off story in the 1995 Holiday Special, an inventor named Rhino Neil invites Sonic and his friends to test his "Paradise Dome", a "solid light" simulation of a tropical island (basically, a holodeck). Sonic isn't interested, but his friends jump at the chance for a holiday. Shortly afterward, though, Sonic realizes that "Rhino" had called him Spikeball, which only Robotnik calls him, and his friends just walked into a trap. True to form, the island suddenly becomes unbearably hot, and the Freedom Fighters are attacked by Badniks — which are themselves solid-light holograms and hence indestructible. Luckily, Sonic gets back in time and destroys the dome's projector, saving their lives.

Mega Man X4: Split Mushroom can create multiple holographic clones of himself to attack X/Zero, and he'll make more at a time the lower his health is. They can be attacked to get rid of, with only one hit if his weakness is used. This is only a step below his strongest ability, where he'll make a fully-similar clone of himself to confuse the player. X is able to copy this ability with the aptly named Soul Body.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII's prequel, Crisis Core, in which Shinra has training programs that are essentially holograms. What makes that this Trope is that the holograms can completely imitate the physical qualities of the object. For example, Sephiroth's sword will actually cut you, even though it's not the real Sephiroth. Also, somehow, it creates its own arid desert.
In Final Fantasy XII, in the Great Crystal, entire pathways are made out of nothing more than solid projections of light.
Final Fantasy XIV:
In Shadowbringers, Dohn Mheg is an elaborate illusion of the Fuath's weaving that takes the form of their "kingdom" beneath the waters of Longmirror Lake. Although it's all technically a series of glamours, the "land" within is tangible as are the vicious monsters that line the paths along the way. Emet-Selch overlays a similar glamour over the ruins of Amaurot in the Tempest along with facsimiles of his fallen people who each have limited ability to make conversation and respond as though they were living people.
The 2022 Starlight Celebration introduces Blitzen, a magical reindeer with the ability to produce glamours for the sake of children. Unlike most glamours which are purely illusions, Blitzen's glamours are tangible. The mount provided at the end of the event's storyline is a glamour of Blitzen's making that can be ridden into the sky and produce the same glamours that he does.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
The Duel Disk systems use this, with the Solid vision Hologram System, originally invented by Seto Kaiba. It very rarely matters since the monsters are mostly just fighting each other. Still, when monsters attack the opposing player directly, it actually hurts.
Which makes it even weirder during a scene in GX that actually shows objects going through a monster hologram.
Early on it was explained that this was a feature of the Duel Disk itself (it would create a bit of feedback to make the duels more realistic, like a very advanced rumble pack). Now that the duels are pretty much just excuses for each successive Big Bad to show how much badder he is than the last, the running explanation is something to the effect of "Who the hell cares?"
One also has to consider that more than half the duels involve some way in which the monsters become a reality.
Explained more in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, in the duel academia episode. Lua/Rua/Leo was commended for having good acting skills instead of good dueling skills. The psychic duelists however... (Then there's the duels with the Dark Signers, the Three Emperors, a ghost...)
Played a bit oddly in 5D's as well in Akiza's early duels. Aki has the power to make her monsters real, which puts her opponents in real danger, so they noticeably reacts to getting attacked. Her opponents have no such powers, so Aki doesn't react at all to getting attacked (both to show that they're not real, and to show that Aki doesn't care enough to play it up and act like they're real for the audience). However, the attacks from her opponents monsters occasionally create (holographic) explosions that sometimes create winds that blow around dust and characters clothes and hair, so there must be SOMETHING physical going on.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, the holograms are marketed as "Solid Vision with mass", as they are solid enough to interact with. The trope was Deconstructed later in the series due to the fact that a lot of people were shown getting hurt due to the technology. The Fusion Dimension takes it further and turns the game into a weapon of war, and they've already laid waste to the Xyz Dimension.

In the first episode of the Danger Mouse relaunch, Colonel K's hologram is mistaken for the real Colonel K and captured by the baddies. At the end of the episode, the narrator questions how this is possible, and DM mutters something about hard light, only for the narrator to continue listing all the other things about the hologram that don't make sense.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Eggmanland in Sonic Unleashed features hard light platforms that can either appear under Sonic's feet to form footholds and walkways, disappear when he steps onto them or remains solid. They make return appearances in Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations.
The entirety of Final Fight Zone from Sonic 3D Blast is implied to be a magical variant of this.

"Shaped energy" in the Perry Rhodan universe. Most famously used by the first aliens to successfully invade and actually conquer the Milky Way Galaxy, who even built their ships out of the stuff. (Which came back to haunt them several decades later when their recharge stations suddenly up and left.) The technology has been around ever since.

The Ixian Projectors from Emperor: Battle for Dune can project hard light copies of units, which can even deal damage. The downside is, being solid holograms, touching enemy units or being shot at instantly destroys them. Still, it allows one to Zerg Rush with an army of holographic Sardaukar Elites while only paying for the Projector(s) to be built and one Sardaukar to be copied. The size of your holographic army is only limited by the number of projectors you build and how fast you can click on your target unit, as there is no cap on the number of projections, nor a Magic Points cost for projecting them. This makes them extremely useful for the penultimate mission where you attack your enemy's homeworld, as there is no spice to harvest, leaving you to rely on your starting cash.

Eugene Sims in inFAMOUS: Second Son is a Conduit with the power of video; he can take artificial light from a television or computer screen and project it into the real world as a hard light being, usually as weapons and creatures from his favorite video game. This includes large swords, demons and angels, and even changing himself into an angelic soldier. As shown in inFAMOUS: First Light he is also able to create hard light DUP soldiers, in which Augustine forces him to do so in order to provide enemies in an arena to train Fetch to kill.

Halo 4 and The Forerunner Saga reveal that the Forerunners even used hard light to create weapons, ships, and even buildings. In fact, almost all of the structures you see on Requiem are made of hard light (shooting them will produce a distinctive pattern which is quickly "healed"); it's almost perfectly disguised to look like regular metal and glass, to the point where its unnaturally perfect symmetry, cleanliness, and brightness are what give it away.

South Park: The celebrity holograms featured in the episodes "#REHASH" and "#HappyHolograms" are a partial example, likely due to Rule of Funny.

Explained more in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, in the duel academia episode. Lua/Rua/Leo was commended for having good acting skills instead of good dueling skills. The psychic duelists however... (Then there's the duels with the Dark Signers, the Three Emperors, a ghost...)
Played a bit oddly in 5D's as well in Akiza's early duels. Aki has the power to make her monsters real, which puts her opponents in real danger, so they noticeably reacts to getting attacked. Her opponents have no such powers, so Aki doesn't react at all to getting attacked (both to show that they're not real, and to show that Aki doesn't care enough to play it up and act like they're real for the audience). However, the attacks from her opponents monsters occasionally create (holographic) explosions that sometimes create winds that blow around dust and characters clothes and hair, so there must be SOMETHING physical going on.

PlanetSide 2 has a few hard light bridges, most notably at Heyoka Chemical Lab. Friendlies can go over the bridge fine, enemies fall straight through the bridge into the moat of deadly chemicals. It's pretty entertaining to hack the enemy bridge console while they're standing on it, causing them to suddenly fall through. The Holographic armor included in the second anniversary bundle is a (purely cosmetic) set of extra hard light armor plating for soldiers.

The Culture drones' fields: They manipulate force fields with a very high degree of precision and control. Skaffen-Amtiskaw, in Use Of Weapons is seen using fields both as incredibly sharp "blades" and blunt objects, medical instruments (sucking blood away from a wound and performing surgery), and supporting pillars. Other drones carry objects and make mirrors from fields, and the gun in "A Gift From The Culture" extends one to "field anchor" its wielder's arm for a steady shot. The fields are generally coloured to depict the mood of the drone - for example, red is "the colour of drone pleasure". This is helpful, as a drone has no facial features or body language to interpret. In Consider Phlebas they use the word "soligram" to refer to this concept.

The elevators in all the 2D Metroid games. They're just a glowing platform in a tube, and if the power goes out or something, said platform just disappears.
Making things even more confusing, in Metroid Fusion, the power is indeed cut... while Samus is standing on one. Oddly, she doesn't fall like you would anticipate. Apparently the future averts No OSHA Compliance. The Federation elevators may be technology that's different from but similar in superficial (read: game graphics) appearance to the Chozo elevators on Zebes.
It's possible they're actually solid, and not just light, but merely glowy. Metroid Prime has clearly solid elevators.

Used, but not described as such, in the Skylark Series by E. E. "Doc" Smith, written in the 1930s. His "projectors" could send out other "projectors" of pure "force" that could manipulate material objects, transmute substances, act as remote "television broadcasters" and "spy-rays", and even manipulate objects at the core of dwarf stars (that's how lenses are created for the highest level of projectors). The in-novel justification for all this was that the hero was originally using matter to channel forces — the sufficiently advanced aliens simply did away with using the matter, and channeled the forces directly.
