Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for locally distorting a two dimensional (2D) image to produce a three dimensional (3D) effect. A region of a display displaying a 2D image can be distorted to make the 2D image appear 3D within the region of distortion. Upon selection of the region of the display to distort, one or more distortion elements corresponding to the selected region are determined and activated to cause the selected region to distort. The distortion element(s) can be overlapping strips of an electroactive polymer arranged in orthogonal and/or non-orthogonal directions.
A computer-implemented method for distorting a region of a display, the method comprising:
A system, comprising:
The system of claim 10, wherein at least two of the plurality of electroactive polymer portions overlap orthogonally or non-orthogonally.
A computer program product for distorting a region of a display, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium readable by a processing circuit, the storage medium storing instructions executable by the processing circuit to cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:
