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 brand (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, etc.) wants to tell the story of a product—where materials come from, how it's made, the heritage. Problem: words and 2D images don't communicate depth. Solution: rear-projected surface where the finished product is displayed in front. The rear-projection tells the story behind it—artisan at work in an atelier, leather tanning in Southern France, heritage craftsmanship montage. The customer holds or touches the product while watching its origin story unfold behind it. They feel the heritage. They understand the craftsmanship. They pay premium price.”

THE QUESTION
“Can rear-projection tell a product's story? Can the material be the brand narrative?”
