An Arbitrary Point P by
Keio University Masahiko Sato Laboratory + Norio Nakamura
(任意の点P by
慶應義塾大学 佐藤雅彦研究室 + 中村至男)
I don't know what name of the job is the job of Masahiko Sato (佐藤雅彦 SATO Masahiko). He is a guest professor of Keio University. According to Keio University web site, Masahiko Sato is specialized in Methodology of Education and Methodology of Expressing Concepts. What degree can students get at Masahiko Sato laboratory? Master of media arts? Anyway, he is related to creating image or video.
His start is as a CM planner. His work expanded to making video game concepts and producing TV program. Pythagora Switch (ピタゴラスイッチ Pitagora suicchi) is a TV program of NHK educational channel. The TV program stimulates "the way of thinking" for children. It also stimulates adult interest. I like this TV program very much. I think Pythagora Switch represents Masahiko Sato's works. Incidentally, KURI Coder Quartet contributes their music to Pythagora Switch.
An Arbitrary Point P is a picture book of 3D image. He keeps the strong impression for 3D image when he studied with a mathematical reference book. The reference book attached a simple cardboard device for viewing 3D image in order to help student's understanding. An Arbitrary Point P also attaches simple lenses for controlling parallax. The mechanism is simple but interesting. This book is a Japanese book but it includes Japanese and English description, though it's just a picture book that doesn't need any words.
