It's a mixture of computer hardware and software that can create three-dimensional images from a photo in a book. A special pair of goggles connected to a PC turn the flat image into a 3-D object that appears to jut out of the book's pages like those pop-up books favored by preschoolers. What makes this technology unique is a tiny camera mounted on the goggles that interacts with the image. As readers move their heads or tilt the book, they can see different aspects of the object as if moving through a virtual world. “A little boy or girl reading Alice in Wonderland can go down the hole with Alice,” said Petranek.The technology, developed at the University of Washington, can also be used for medical studies. By using this system with a patient’s MRI scans, said Petranek, a doctor can prepare for tricky operations before the first cut is made. “You could go inside somebody’s body and see where you were going to go do a coronary bypass.” Wacking Land Mines
