> The team realized that the process could be reversed: given a computer model of a 3D object, the researchers calculated what it would look like from many different angles, and then fed the resulting 2D images into a ordinary slide projector.

I'm pretty sure the researchers were using a normal computer projector and not a slide projector. But in my imagination, they printed a bunch of slides, fed them into a carousel projector, and pointed them at an old Smuckers jelly jar full of resin.
