A projector table drawn live in the browser, with holograms lit by their own edges.
Case study / Shadow MosesA fan homage to Metal Gear Solid. 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.

01The Table
Fox Archipelago, Alaska
Click a site on the map to read its intel. Drag to turn Solid Snake. Hold the sight on REX to lock on. Psycho Mantis reads only what this browser tells him, and none of it leaves the page. The models are made from Yoji Shinkawa's designs.
On the phone the table turns under your thumb, and the sight is a hold, not a click.
02How It Was Built
Holograms Lit by Their Own Edges
Snake, REX and Psycho Mantis are modelled from Yoji Shinkawa's designs, about 360,000 triangles between them. Each is drawn as a hologram lit only by its own edges and scan lines, and passes to the next as a stream of light. REX is rigged in four parts (body, railgun, radome, head), each with its own lock. The island under them is drawn as contours on the projector table.
03The Makers
Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa
The two men who built Shadow Moses, on a second memory card: from 1963 in Setagaya to Death Stranding 2. Then the game, the series every stealth-action game owes its existence to, and the last fight: REX is rigged part by part, and a lock on the part Otacon names is the only way to put it down.
