Automatic driving of cars has been realized, and automobile manufacturers around the world are focusing on the development of technology. With complete automatic driving, the driver will not have to concentrate on ensuring safety for driving. When the driver is released from driving, the time in the passenger compartment will change greatly. It is also possible to use the car as an interactive tool to enjoy a new experience, not simply as a tool for moving. For example, by transforming the scene outside the car into an unrealistic image, experiencing unusual driving that movement will create new meaning and value. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system suitable for generating pictorial images from visual information accompanying car movement. As a result, it became possible to create picturesque moving pictures with images acquired from the vehicle's camera during driving. In addition, passengers are now able to watch pictorial-style animations generated in real time via a large LED display installed in the passenger compartment.

In this paper, I report making of an artwork using a fused deposition modeling 3D printer: 3D printed dandelion cotton. I summarize related works on 3D printing techniques and design printing paths that allow a 3D printer to stably mass-produce a pappus. I describe a way of printing a pappus with actual design processes. Based on the making process and an exhibition, I discuss the capability of a 3D printer and a creation using a 3D printer.
