Hi Luis,

That's very cool modelling and rendering! I get the feeling your techniques here could also come in use for the later phases when creating the actual effects : ) I saw a Pepper's Ghost on stage a couple of years ago, and it's impressive how realistic the effect is, so it's going to be really interesting seeing your project come to life with the LCD and Plexiglass, and what animations/effects you'll render using it.

Just thinking out loud, your pyramid is also suitable for inserting an object, so maybe a future modification after the design challenge could even be to feed the camera into the top area of the Plexiglas pyramid, so it can look down, see the object, and then animate any effects using the image data for some interaction. I've no idea how that would look though! Could also be a lot of computation. I was thinking magic dice, where if the Pi sees what number is upright, then some character moves in a 3D room or something.

Best of luck with your project!
