Magic Book by Camille Scherrer

Great thesis project on the possibilities of augmented reality in animating story. The set-up [a book, a lamp, and a laptop] seems perfectly harmless at first sight. But as soon as you open the book under the lamp … the pages take on new animated and mysterious dimensions … worlds appear and disappear with a direct connection to the actual items printed on paper: animal figures appear over the mountains, peaks emerge in a shadow play, a bird silently flies over, foxes light up the text with their lanterns at dusk … The book’s iconography, inspired from a family album of the 1930s, changes into a virtual fairy tale. More of her work can be seen on her website.
