  I'm wondering how practical it might be to take a
laser and turn it
 into a vector display on a handy blank wall 
Those have been around for decades - I recall seeing them used to draw things
on the sides of building, _many_ moons ago. I'm assuming they bounce the beam
off a mirror, and actuate the mirror, but I don't actually know how they
worked.
