Receiving a feedback from a Yahoo! Japan employee.

Joined the 2019 Yahoo! Tokyo Hackathon and developed an innovative tool that provides automated bedtime story for children. This tool shows and narrates a picture book in 3D using an optical illusion, emotionally supporting parents by alleviate the task of putting children to sleep. Details follows below.

iPad is placed below, so that the light reflects on an acrylic board. When seen from a certain degree, it looks like it's floating in the air.

A description of the gadget. Titled as "Luminous picture book"

This "Luminous picture book" gadget utilizes an illusion technique called "Pepper's ghost" (click here). It works by projecting a light source onto an angled transparent acrylic board, which is then shown to the reader.

When viewed from a certain angle, the light source creates the illusion that the picture of the book is in 3D, appearing to float in the air . This technique is famously used in attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror at Disney World.
