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 high-end wine retailer or restaurant wants to help customers understand what they're buying. Problem: a wine bottle gives no information about the vineyard, the vintage story, the terroir. Solution: rear-projected surface where the wine bottle is placed in front. The rear-projection shows the vineyard in real-time—vines growing, harvest scenes, aging cellar, the winemaker's hands. The customer doesn't just buy a bottle; they buy the experience and story of that wine. Premium bottles sell faster. Customers pay more willingly.”

THE QUESTION
“Can rear-projection sell wine through storytelling? Can light make wine more valuable?”
