“Precious mediaeval books, usually displayed in glass cases and touchable only with gloves, can now be read in glorious 3D, thanks to a system unveiled Tuesday at the world’s top tech fair.  With the 3D interactive book explorer, users browse through the sinewy Latin text and colourful illustrations penned centuries ago but in a distinctly up-to-date manner.  The text is scanned in and displayed on a flat-screen display and readers, standing a couple of metres (feet) back from the screen, scroll through the pages just by waving their hands in the air to operate motion sensor cameras.  The reader can flip the book through 360 degrees and in 3D.”
