   * It was implied to me early on after I joined that the airborne femtomachines in Star Army ships played a certain role in volumetric projection. The way I rationalized it given evidence given was that each femotomachine could serve akin to a vertex, where edges could be draw between them and form triangles and more complex shapes that would be filled out with color, just like in today's 3d modeling meshes. ~ Fred   * It was implied to me early on after I joined that the airborne femtomachines in Star Army ships played a certain role in volumetric projection.

   * Another implication lending credence to the femtomachine approach was how femtomachines perform poorly when under the influence of poor weather (such as a rainy downpour), and that the same trait appears shared by volumetric projections - likely no coincidence. ~ Fred   * Another implication lending credence to the femtomachine approach was how femtomachines perform poorly when under the influence of poor weather (such as a rainy downpour), and that the same trait appears shared by volumetric projections - likely no coincidence. ~ Fred
   * 'solid' projections are likely the result of in-ship areas generating internal forcefields overlaying with the surface shapes of the femtomachine-created visuals. Those forcefields are likely not constant, but rather generated the instant the ship's quantum computer believes a touch feedback will be necessary based on monitoring the operations of the user. Other more casual gestures such as swatting a window away or squelching it shut between two hands probably have more to do with motion sensing, without needing any actual forcefields to be generated. ~ Fred   * 'solid' projections are likely the result of in-ship areas generating internal forcefields overlaying with the surface shapes of the femtomachine-created visuals.
