On Sunday night, the image was projected on a piece of Mylar a highly reflective, lightweight plastic stretched on a clear frame.

The technology was initially developed at NASA in the 1960s, first as thick Mylar balloons and later as rubber bladders covered in Kevlar.

Teams of workers Thursday began taking measurements to layer the inside of the windows with a Mylar shatter-resistant coating similar to that on car windshields.
He left the defense industry, and went on to invent the Mylar balloon, an improved version of Liquid Paper, and Kinepak, a kind of explosive that reduces the risk of accidental detonation.
It purchased Kevlar shields that slip into door panels, retrofitted windshields with shatter-proof Mylar and outfitted truck cabs with ballistic blankets which may or may not slow down bullets and shrapnel.
As it turns out, the structure made from stretched Mylar for the fair, but from aluminum panels when it goes into mass production, if all goes according to plan is mirrored not only on the outside but also on the inside, creating a sort of funhouse effect.
What we do is we get every quilting circle and church group in America to start making Mylar screens and sewing them together like quilt, and then we put them into the ocean, where they reflect the sun's rays and keep the water underneath cooler.
On the 9 p.m. boat ride back to Manhattan from New Jersey, Dan Dubno, wearing a reflective mylar jacket to keep out the chill of the Hudson, said that, even if there were no presentations or gadget demos, the event would have been a success because it brought people together to celebrate and forward innovation and creative tinkering.
