It's there, but needs about 2-3 years to figure out. Sort of like AI image creation 4 years ago. Now to get it open sourced and out to the average man.

Hasn't there been contactless movement experiments at this scale for a few decades? There was also the famous floating frog experiment about 10 years ago I think.

There was also a group at the University of Utah that got a piece of metal to form to what they wanted. It's been slow going because no one wants to make the mistakes needed to move forward faster
