3-D Zoetropes
Computer-rendered objects, output in 3-D, in-the-round in physical materials
via
Automated Fabrication
are attached to the edge of a wheel, set in motion and viewed under
optically-synchronized, stroboscopic light. The objects are the sixty phases
of a computer-generated animation loop -- a computer-animated 3-D MORPH in
physical 3-D.
The first prototype of the 3-D Zoetrope won an
International Award in Digital Sculpture and has been exhibited at the
SIGGRAPH 2000 Art Gallery, the ASU
Institute for Studies in the Arts, the
Exploratorium, San Francisco and the
Arizona Science Center, Phoenix.
