Thanks for the nice comments!
Here are some insights on this small product:
* The plotter scroller is running on the surface of a trefoil knot torus, consists of 960 dots in total
* Technically the rotation around the Y axis can run freely, even we could adopt a joystick controlling, but simply it didn't come to our mind
* So the 3D coordinates of the scroll matrix are precalculated, but the rotation is running real-time
* Running on a single hi-res bitmap (so no double buffer)
* On the content: since this scroller is almost unreadable ;) we were brave enough to ask our wives to share their opinion on our C64 enthusiasm: so wives are unchained :) But we are also nice husbands, so added a hidden feature that everyone else can read their opinion :D
* World first ? I don't know, we didn't see anything similar on C64, however we haven't seen all the demos, yet :)

Finally, don't forget to vote ;)

Absolutely unreadable, nice!

As for real-time, seems to use the fixed x-pos 'trick'. Proper real-time would be joystick controlled, but that might make the scroller readable =)
