Paris is back with more questions, and this time she wants the right answer to - what is Projection Mapping? The next in our adventures in describing highly visual challenges verbally! Meanwhile, everyone likes a nice cup of tea, and what makes that better? A biscuit, obviously - but which one? How to decide? Is it subjective.... or not?
