Animated Paper

Animated Paper is a new wireless prototyping platform that combines paper, shape memory alloy (SMA), retro-reflective material, and copper foil. This platform makes it possible to create a moving paper craft. This platform makes it possible to create moving toys out of ordinary print paper with minimal modification to the physical composition of the paper itself, facilitating simple trial-and-error modifications.
We also implemented a laser control system which allows for the precise wireless motion control of the SMA-enhanced paper by tracking retro-reflective markers on the paper using a laser and photo sensor.

AnimatedPaperは誰でも動く紙工作を創ることのできるプロトタイピングプラットホームです。紙に形状記憶合金を貼り付け、外部から与える熱を制御することで、紙工作をロボットのように操ることを可能にします。
熱源としてヒーターや太陽光だけでなく、高出力レーザを用いれば局所制御が可能になり、再帰性反射マーカーと組み合わせることで紙工作の追従も可能に。 紙という我々が最も親しみのあるメディアに対して新たに「動き」のデザインの可能性を示します。
