Sketch for Dynamic Cross Section Renderer

This is a sketch for a design concept called the Dynamic Cross Section Renderer.

An image is drawn onto a sheet of foam core. Depending on the sheet's angle and location, the image morphs into different shapes and designs. These shapes aren't arbritrary; they reveal a cross section of an otherwise invisible 3d model. The 3d model is a replica of the cardboard box - including the box's contents.

This video is only a sketch because, ultimately, the idea is to do this dynamically on the fly using a projector and motion capture. Imagine reading brain CAT Scans in a dynamic cross section renderer instead of looking at a series of slides.

I'll post more info on the topic within a week or so at my blog:
