This great that they are pushing the limits of projections on an old set. It just shows how the new technology can make an old show new and total cool in the best ways. I would just love to see this show and see the way in which the system is set up. I know in the article they talk about that but I somewhat make not sencie with all the jargen they where talk with. I hope that we continue to see the new and interesting technology integrated in the shows around the world. Maybe one day getting to work with some of this new and fancy technology and maybe some things that we can’t even think about yet.
When it says "brick by brick," I think they're referring to how the projections spread to each brick as it is added to the wall, which was very impressive to watch and must involve a lot of programming and careful attention to the wall's construction amidst the technical elements of the show. The technology they mention doesn't mean a lot to me, but the resulting seemless, high-quality and integrated projection was very impressive when compared to the simple three 35mm projectors that they used on the original tour.
