MatLab Demo

"Viewing a Penny" was my favorite demo - it was interesting to see the different possibilities for obtaining each pixel, all of which were able to produce a recognizable image of a penny. It takes some creativity to come up with things like darkening a pixel based on how much its depth varies from its surrounding.
