Not only children but also adults can enjoy it.

It was made with special technology!

Just by turning over the page, the animals move? How is that possible? The identity of that mechanism uses a special technique called “photicular technology”!

According to the explanation of the “picture book navigation” website that introduces these world picture books, “Photicular technology” is …

a further evolution of the technology originally called “lenticular technology”. Take out one frame of the still image that is the source of the video and cut it in strips. By arranging them in order, we create one basic image. Just a glance, you can see only one blurred picture with many pictures. On the image, a sheet with countless elongated lenses also placed. If you move the lens sheet over the image, the magic movement effect will occur there and images in the picture will appear to move around in a dynamic manner.

The lenticular is a technique that changes the angle and changes the pattern and makes it the images to look stereoscopic. There are countless elongated lens sheets on each page of the picture book, and as the page turns the lens sheet moves on the image of the animal creating the effect of the animals are also moving at the same time.
