原文在这里!小容建议他加上了个Web2job的tag，其他的创业团队也可以使用同样的tag:)

3 parallel 8’ high by 3.5 ’ wide panes of mirrored glass placed side by side, each displaying rear-projected content from a high-lumen projector. content was designed in 3 dimensions, using scale, motion & depth perspective to make the user feel like she is immersed in & moving through the communication.
a user standing in front of the mirrors has the unusual sensation of seeing their reflection & the projected content simultaneously. sensors embedded in the structure above each pane register when a user reaches out to a “hot spot,” allowing users to navigate the projected content without ever needing to touch the “screen” or press a “button.” see also menu vista & bloomberg smart space.
