- anamorphicon = anamorphosis + physical + icon
Research Plan in Beijing (from August 2012) †
Fundamental research †
Generation of best distorted image on the bottom display †
- image mapping from original image to distorted image
- Precise calculation may improve outer area
- programming
- Viewpoint control
- Detecting user’s eye position by camera may be used to widen viewing angle

Observation of overlay images †
- two anamorphicons in the proximity
- How overlap of anamorphosis area affect image quality?
- How to reduce interference?
- Highly distorted image may be un-recognizable

- Overloading double images
- Highly distorted image may be un-recognizable
- Overlay un-distorted contents (text overlay)
