# Outline

{% hint style="info" %}
🧭 **New —** [**The Display Atlas**](https://laserpilot.github.io/Survey_of_Alternative_Displays/comparison-tool/)**:** an interactive way to explore these technologies across four lenses — a comparison matrix, a trade-off explorer, a map of "display-space," and guided stories. A companion [Interactive Installation Multitool](https://laserpilot.github.io/interactive-installation-multitool/) covers the practical install side (screen height, sizing, ADA). (Hosted on GitHub Pages; opens outside GitBook.)
