Field notes
The proposed mechanism fires droplets at image points, steers them with airflow, and uses a violet pulse to make them visible. The first test is framed around a measurable landing tolerance of 0.5 mm, with time and budget figures identified as estimates. The page is explicit that no measurements exist yet and labels its visualization accordingly; later depth-layer and colour stages remain plans.
