IPP19 in London Aug 1999

Karin and I attended the 19.th International Puzzle Party in London. We brought Karin's Diamond Burr design as our exchange puzzle. The picture shows Karin an me at the Puzzle Party with our puzzles.

During IPP19 Jürg also gave a talk about Virtual Mechanical Puzzles Talk, where he described his findings on how to describe mechanical puzzles in electronic form using various techniques.
Abstract:
Trying to describe mechanical puzzles is often difficult. Books can be nicely done with color photographs and sketches showing how the puzzle works. But they they are rather static.

I have looked for other ways to describe puzzles and have started to use various rich media technologies to create websites describing mechanical puzzles.

I this talk I will outline a few of the posibilites of such technologies.
