Isn't the control panel a hologram though?
Its interesting the way it interfaces; cortanas chip seems to be absorded into the panel much like the index, and can be plucked from if in a similar way. This means the physical unit is teleported into the computers own internal "closet" or suspended in the panels energy feild. The Forerunner hologram/energy projection abilities are very advanced- they can generate a bridge of energy which acts like a solid so it is possible that the index is some form of holgram energy form, then again it may not be, theres not enough evidence to conclusively say either way
