It can be hard to appreciate laser graphics unless you see them in real life. There’s a vividness to them that’s quite beautiful compared to rasterizd graphics.

The post indicates the builder went with a raster approach to the projection.
Sure, I read it. The author discusses the trade offs, and the fact that they went with a raster approach in my mind doesn’t diminish this awesome project / post.
My point was simply that a generation of people who’ve never seen vector graphics in real life might be wondering what the big deal is. It’s worth trying to find an arcade where you can see an old working cabinet up close.
