The repo subtitle is `Project the aircraft passing overhead onto your ceiling, in real time — an X-ray through the roof.`

The demo video starts outside pointing at a cloudy sky with an airplane passing overhead. My mind, seeded with the word "x-ray", thought the outside shot was the video projection on his ceiling. I thought his rain gutters were crown molding, and when the camera man runs inside, I thought he was running outside to show the real life airplane.

The actual projection is neat, but how fun would it be to have an x-ray projection of the night sky.

Thought the same thing. Would be super cool to project the night sky with procedurally generated cellestial objects, planes, spaceships, etc.

I thought the same thing! The plane being so low made it seem like an exaggerated computer-generated plane.

I thought the same exact thing and I thought that I would love a sky projection on my ceiling

Something like Sega Toys Homestar?
