Amazing episode! But I’m not sure how to feel about this decision yet, guess we’ll have to see which theories are correct.
When the short animated movie starts, we clearly see a projector with three separate projection sources, one with a lens for each base color:
Since they are each positioned with a slight offset and angled, the projected pictures can’t work well for all distances. The further you get from the actual “perfect” distance, the more the different color channels will be offset visually. And yet, what do we see when Mr. Milchick steps in front of the screen?
Obviously the whole fandom has been intensely discussing multiple theories:
- Lumon has developed projector technology lightyears ahead of our own
- Most of the production cost for this season went into growing such a talented child actress, so Apple saved money on set design
- Mr. Milchick is actually a flat surface that merely looks like a 3D person due to optical trickery
I’m not sure which one I agree with the most. What do you guys think?
This entire series is just a long game commercial for Apple’s next product, a holographic projector. Their vision goggles failed so miserably that they are doing a 180 to a device that sits on the floor and goes nowhere near your head. This was the first generation prototype. You can tell because it has pretty blue and green lights. Soon everyone in the world will have one.
Who’s Milchick? And why didn’t you even mention Milkshake’s conversation with Darryl?
Because the only projection in that scene is yours, Mark W.
Please try to enjoy all the projections equally.
