Cross-readings and ecoliteracy in children’s pop-up books

Pop-up book MEMS

We present a design methodology and manufacturing process for the construction of articulated three-dimensional microstructures with features on the micron to centimeter scale. Flexure mechanisms and assembly folds result from the bulk machining and lamination of alternating rigid and compliant layers, similar to rigid-flex printed circuit board construction. Pop-up books and other forms of pap...

Stereoscopic Pop-Up

I present a novel system for the segmentation of images with depth into a mesh-based layered representation. This layered representation can be used for synthesising new views of the scene, and to create effects which would otherwise be non-trivial to implement, such as camera pans and depth of field effects. My contributions are threefold. Firstly, my project builds on existing algorithms, in ...

Acquisition of Animated and Pop-Up Targets

Pop-up targets, such as the items of popup menus, and animated targets, such as the moving windows in Mac OS X Exposé, are common in current desktop environments. This paper describes an initial study of pointing on popup and animated targets. Since we are interested in expert performance, we study the situation where the user has previous knowledge of the (final) position of the target. We inv...
