| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to establish a design method for ambiguous cylinders, whose appearances change drastically when they are reflected in a plane mirror.
First, an equation system is constructed for finding the space curve that affects two given shapes when it is seen from two prespecified viewpoints. Next, an ambiguous cylinder is constructed as the surface swept by the space curve. Several heuristic methods were also constructed for controlling thickness of the ambiguous cylinders so that they appear to be as uniform as possible, and thus the cylinders are 3D printable. A method for drawing unfolded surface was also constructed.
On the basis of these methods, we also developed new types of impossible objects, such as "topology-disturbing objects", whose topology changes in the mirror, and "deformable objects", which appear to deform when viewpoint is moved. Thus, we establish a mathematical theory and a systematic design algorithm of "ambiguous cylinders".
