The picture above, and the video below the divide are examples of relatively mundane technology at work. It's actually quite simple. The image was projected by standard equipment you might see in an office or a nice college lecture room, onto a standing piece of glass that had been treated with Vikuiti Projection Film and cut into the shape of the lady's silhouette. With the video set to loop, visitors to the area could be treated to a piece of nice bright signage.

Do you see the incredible otaku potential in such things? What if we could cut that glass in properly moe shape, perhaps ones to match the members of a certain high school's music club, then play their concerts in three-dimensional 2D! It'd just be like that scene from Minority Report where Tom Cruise can't stop playing hologram videos of his wife. There would be no creepy uncanny valley incidents like with RealDolls or faculty members, just the super-amazing equivalent of a wallscroll or standee! Kind of a video figurine for you Tomopop-types.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go find some panes of glass.
