Notice the trajectory path of the rocket visually (and ingeniously) represented and borned by a set of steel cables tensioned in cupola and attached to a wall.

For Newbies in Space projects like myself:

Not new or the simplest. See "Vertical Wire Sky Screen". It was used at the Cape for decades since the 50's. Been replaced by cameras with trajectory overlays.
