Research status
Frontier — A research question. Unexplored territory — not an established capability. What follows is a research question and a hypothesis, not a demonstrated capability.
THE PROBLEM
“A luxury jewelry brand wants to show a customer why a $30K diamond is worth the price. Problem: a diamond under a spotlight is pretty, but doesn't communicate value. Solution: rear-projected surface where the diamond is placed in a custom holder in front. The rear-projection shows the diamond's atomic structure (magnified visualization), its clarity grading, its cut geometry, its light-refraction path. The customer watches light move through the stone as it bounces inside. They understand the science. They perceive the value. They buy.”

THE QUESTION
