Abstract

We developed an interactive system which takes the technique of Anamorphosis, with a 2D display and a cylindrical mirror. In this system, a distorted image is shown on a flat panel display or tabletop surface, and the original image will appear on the cylindrical mirror when a user puts it on the display. By detecting the position and rotation of the cylinder, the system provides interaction between the user and the image on the cylinder. In our current prototype, an iPad screen and its multi-touch display is used to detect the cylinder.
