Oh, yeah, sure! [ she actually hits the button so the screen extends from the base hardware, and will hand it over to Helena ] It's mostly a touch screen on hardlight dust, but I can turn on some of the audio assistance if you wanted to poke at it some.
[there's a genuine awe that comes as she shifts her cane and uses both hands to hold the device. technology is amazing - it's truly captivating, how far some people can go. it's only after a moment that she remembers to voice her thoughts.]
Hardlight, you said...I know a few people who'd be over the moon to know something like this exists, and be looking to understand and recreate it.
[Tracy would be enamored of any new devices. and Luca would see the opportunities, and start fiddling - if he didn't already have half his room taken apart for a new lab.]
It's cool, right? Hardlight dust is pretty rare in comparison to other dusts where I come from, though uh, 'dust' is one of those things only my world seems to have.
[ Literal magic dust, though they still don't call it magic. Ruby can't not smile at how awed Helena is by it all. ]
But hardlight is only really used for a few mainstream things, the rest is all highly specialised and rarely seen. Like uhhh... shields, or a friend of mine uses it to copy weapons.
