Deskrama is a low-cost interactive space browser originally intended for three dimensional architectural designs. Moving its light-weight LCD panel on a plan drawing of a building displays on the LCD panel a three dimensional interior view of the building model as if it were placed on the plan and sectioned at the position where the panel touches the drawing. The key idea is a spatial synchronization of different architectural representations such as a two dimensional abstraction and photo realistic three dimensional perspective.
Other possibilities of application include medical imaging of human and animal bodies as well as representation of underground geological formation.
