Coloring-Book Pages Transformed into 3-D Animations via New Software

[Bok]

That six-year-old kid bent over a coloring book may become a 3D artist when he grows up--you never know. Now a new program can help him get a taste of that future, faster. Members of the Human Interface Technology Lab in Christchurch, New Zealand, have written a program that turns a colored-in coloring page into a 3D, animated scene. They first showed their program at conferences in 2011, and on March 5, they won best "Tech Note," or short paper, at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' 3D User Interfaces conference. They're offering their program, colAR , for free on their website.
