Can you figure out whether these fish are true or fake, if without a closer observation (in fact I don’t think observation can work to tell us the truth this time…)?  Really good work, these fish are actually three-dimensional paintings created by Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori. Each piece consists of multiple transparent layers, with realistic fish painted on them after each layer of liquid resin becomes solid. Rightly by repeating that process, the artist could finally bring us so incredible 3D paintings.

2D or 3D, currently almost all designs are seemingly to face that question. But actually it’s not that difficult to make a decision, because one could become both 2D and 3D at the same time. The Keyboard Wall is rightly a good example. It’s constructed with thousands of keys collected from old computer keyboards, creating a 2D image when you view them from the front while offering 3D pleasure as well since you can feel their unique shapes.

Composed of gesture recognition software connected with a 3D depth sensor, a real time 3D video capture module using a 3D video camera and interactive graphic generation software based on a game engine, the 3D AR screen showcased by Aniframe can not only create 3D images but interact with the users. It can recognize and track the gesture of users, allowing them to “draw” images in 3D space.
