The magic lens can provides 3d explorations of rich datasets. By moving the magic lens through the volume, the lens can be volumetric, layered, zoomable, or temporal information spaces.
It is just like a special eye to look at the data world!

Technical setup:

- Camera: detect the paper

- Projector: project both on the table and the paper


The device is easy to use. By moving a tracked sheet of paper, the user can explore more information on the tabletop display. Users don’t even have to use fingers to touch the paper. They can control the paper by their natural movement.


It provides a new method of exploring the inside world. Traditionally, we use pictures, models, computer models to let people know what it looks like inside the things. This design makes it possible to see any cut-plane slice of the thing conveniently.


It can be apply to explosion or education. It is a promising device!


Motivation: To solve the challenge of exploring large information spaces on interactive surfaces.
