When we think of 3D technology, we don’t often think of the
sixteenth century books. However, printers have found ways to creative
interactive texts since printing began. For example, Euclid’s The Elements of Geometrie included
shapes that buyers could cut out and glue onto the pages of their book. These
cut-outs would then form the three-dimensional shapes described in the text,
like the pyramid above!
Euclid, The Elements
of Geometrie of the Most Auncient Philosopher Euclide of Megara (Imprinted
at London: by John Daye, 1570). Q. 516.2
