Neat indeed. However, the required power consumption of such a device appears to make it nothing more than a very expensive novelty for many many years. Let us not forget that the lasers are probably very dangerous to mess with, and as such, any interaction with such displays will be very hazardous to someone's health.
I was waiting for someone to develop such a device like this, with lasers heating air... I just didn't know how it could be done. ;_;

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It looks awesome, where is major?

Yeah, I was shocked by the existence of videos as well.
BTW, the Major is present now. ^_^

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Actually, the biggest problem with the system is that it requires an external projector to project the background onto the fabric. So, so much for the idea of invisi-camo.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yeah.
Because life sucks.
And rather than coming to terms with this fact, people would rather just escape it in more and more immersive custom worlds.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Is english your first language?

Because it seems that linguistic subtleties are beyond you.

I said that we tend to turn inventions into things to assist in our escape from reality. That is different from inventions in general being inspired by "fantasy and immagination."

I also feel like being argumentative right now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
