Hacking the Museum: Mandela27 – A Democratic DIY Pop-Up Installation

The Complexity of a Pop-Up Book

Origami is the centuries-old art of folding paper, and recently, it is investigated as science. In this paper, another hundreds-old art of folding paper, a pop-up book, is studied. A model for the pop-up book design problem is given, and its complexity is investigated. We show that both of the opening book problem and the closing book problem are NP-hard.

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 ...
