FORM & DEPTHINDEPENDENT DESIGN STUDIO
PROTOTYPE · TEST-PRINT STAGE

Flat prints.
Solid illusion.

Printed panels, calculated with real 3D geometry,
that read as a maze cube growing out of a room corner.

Computed from the same panel files a customer would print, rendered onto a virtual room and viewed from the intended eye position. Corner placement: two walls and ceiling. It has not yet been physically test-printed.

HOW A FLAT PRINT BECOMES A CUBE

Three flat panels.
One viewing spot.

A virtual maze cube is placed in the corner. For every point on the walls and ceiling, a line is traced from the viewer's eye through that point to the cube, and the panel is painted with whatever the eye would see. Each panel looks stretched on its own. From the right spot, they line up into a solid object.

The same panels seen from the side: clearly flat printed sheets
SIMULATION The same panels from the side: visibly flat.
The same panels seen from 35 cm to the side of the intended spot
SIMULATION 35 cm away from the sweet spot: the illusion starts to skew.

The effect depends on where you stand. The installation guide gives the exact position (distance from each wall and eye height) and the panel orientation.

VERIFIED IN SIMULATION

  • Panels are un-mirrored and correctly oriented
  • Exported panel bitmaps re-rendered onto virtual walls reproduce the cube from the eye position (mean error ≈ 2.3 / 255)
  • Six placements pass the same geometric checks

NOT YET VERIFIED

  • A physical test print
  • Real walls, paper/vinyl, lighting and printers
  • How far real viewers can move before it breaks

AI CONCEPT · NOT A PRODUCT

These six images were generated as inspiration for future directions (portals, spirals, rugs, a raven). They are not produced from printable files and no customer file will look exactly like them. Verified previews are the simulations above.
