What if it wasn't a cliche anymore to say, after reading a book, that the characters jumped off the page? What if they actually did? South Korean scientists have done it.
From the piece in Reuters...
Pictures in the books have cues that trigger the 3D animation for readers wearing computer-screen goggles. As the reader turns and tilts the book, the 3D animation moves accordingly.
"It took us about three years to develop the software for this," said Kim Sang-cheol, the team leader of the project.
Kim said the technology could be used for any type of book and sees it eventually being used for images displayed over smart phones or at museums to enhance exhibits.
