It looks and sounds cool, but can someone explain what it is?

It seems like a sort of projector/camera based AR computing environment; it reminds me of the original tabletop-sized Microsoft Surface prototypes, or those floor soccer games that they used to have at movie theaters or shopping centers.

The pitch is anti-screen, but isn't it using paper and tabletop surfaces as a projection screen?

What are the most interesting bits? How are dynamicland apps easier to create than apps in scratch/python/etc.? How does it scale when your program gets larger than your desk or table?

Based on their timeline, it looks like the website hasn't been updated in 2-4 years. Most YT videos on Dynamicland are 6 years old. Does anyone know what the latest status of the project is?
I am waiting on updates as well and they are expected any time now. On Bret's personal site it says:

> In 2013, I started the research lab that became Dynamicland. Most of my subsequent work will be found on the new Dynamicland website once it goes public in the spring of 2024.

> Dynamicland’s new website will be here in the spring of 2024.
I do not see a way to get notified when there is an update. I would like to know, nut I do not plan to set an alarm to visit the website or twitter/x page.

Thank you! I have been trying to find this from vague memory!

I'm really interested in this concept but the above link is vaporware.

None of these projects actually have a noun phrase I can search that unify them. I don't even know what to call this flavor of kinesthetic computing.
