Over on the other side

Over on the other side of the building at school there is a bunch of equipment available to students. We checked it out yesterday. I'm not sure what the technical term for it is, but we saw the "cave". Since this blog is really meant for people who are already familiar with the class/school/what's going on, I won't spend time explaining it. But it gave me some ideas about what i could possibly do with my book. I was interested in the idea of a virtual book. Or the book coming to life through the cave. I don't know how difficult it would be or if I'll actually do it, but I think it'd be neat to install a camera (if there isn't one already) that treated certain visuals in a book as it would a QR code. Or like what was shown by the touch table - 3D models overlayed onto the image shown on screen through the Ipad when its camera is focused on that particular graphic on the table. Somehting along the same lines but it changes the entire area around you in the cave. Or have it in some way so that certain pages from the actual book can be laid out on the table. Maybe the are transparent enough to shine light through and touch the table. That'd be neat to have a physical page on the table, drag a digital graphic and line it up with the physical graphic and a new image is revealed to the user.
