The tip of rods imitate the distinct dots. Changing the length of the rods allows to simulate a three-dimensional image of the objects.
    As a demonstration of a new idea, Fleming created several large panel-screens (Pinscreens) for museums, adjusted release small panel-toys that were very popular in America in the 1980s.
