Description "And it was real." - Catherine, realMyst trailer

Well, here it is - the finished product. This is a "working" replica of a Myst linking book. It's made out of a copy of the same book Cyan originally used as a texture reference.

Inside the book is a full desktop computer, completely self-contained without any external wires or wireless master computer. The embedded screen isn't just showing a still photo or a video, but it's running a full copy of realMyst PC edition. On-board is a copy of all the Myst games. It's fast enough it plays all of them smoothly (even End of Ages at ~30fps). You play the games just by touching the touch-screen.

Be sure to check out the rest of this series!

THIS. is SO amazing, I don't even know what to say! @_@
The only thing you have left to do is: Making it actually take you to MYST
However... this is almost as good as the "real" World... makes me wish to play again... *_*

Oh dang, this is awesome. Next project: find and capture dudes inside book matrixes. Myst is fun, but I still have to beat it. Lost mah notes and don't want to use a walkthrough.

This could possibly be the coolest replica project ever, for all time to come.

I can't believe how freaking awesome you are! Saw a video of this in action from a link off the Lyst. Doesn't it overheat?

This was on the front page of reddit when I was over there earlier.
