What does the lightbulb have to do with the projection? Obviously the lightbulb is not the camera... nor the projector (nothing clear is getting through a frosted white shell). Is the lightbulb just a prop and imagined form-factor?

I feel like the demos are disingenuous because they suggest that the lightbulb is responsible for the entire thing.
