Paper - more than just a canvas to doodle on
I recently purchased a book for my nephew, and not just any kind of book, but a popup book to learn his ABC's. I fell in love with this ABC3D book by Marion Bataille- which you can see demo'd here in this video. I tend to collect popup or moveable books(pull down,volvelles etc ) - I'm drawn to the interactivity the extra dimension affords much in the same way I'm drawn to flip books. In many arguable ways, the most trendiest and gratitutious implementations of Augmented Realitity are a digital homage the pop up book, adopting the user metaphor or simply trying to digitally recreate that experience such as this video. Don't expect a translation on that video - the last time I checked, Ikea was about as Scandinavian as I got. I've even seen this approach in music videos such as this one for ShitDisco.
