## Observations

- Combines retro computing archival clips with clean modern UI viewport frames to contrast fixed legacy computing against fluid generative software.
- Showcases diverse real-time manipulation paradigms including sliding sun angles in rooms, material swapping on architectural facades, product customization, and room walkthroughs.
- Uses sparse, elegant typography centered on clean white backgrounds to punctuate core product claims like 'frame by frame', 'in real time', and 'no code'.

## Moments

### 0:00–0:11 · The Predetermined Nature of Legacy Software
