Hey Mr. Bird 🙂

Think the Braves will get to the World Series this year? *fingers crossed*

By dragging the particle through the same loop over and over again, this new technology can create a still image hovering in thin air. Some of the pictures appear to flicker on film because of how quickly the camera captures each frame, but to the human eye, the visuals look steadily solid.
