What this Lab explored
A projector table drawn live in the browser. Each figure is a hologram lit by its own edges and scan lines, and passes to the next as a stream of light.
The last fight is played, not watched. REX is rigged part by part, and a lock on the part Otacon names is the only way to put it down.
Psycho Mantis reads only what this browser tells him, and none of it leaves the page.
A fan homage. Not affiliated with Konami or Kojima Productions.
