Kisekae Set System (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kisekae Set System is a blending of art with computers originally designed to allow creation of virtual "paper dolls." Kisekae is short for "kisekae ningyou"; a Japanese term meaning "dress-up dolls." Unlike "computer art" which creates or displays traditional art via a computer, KiSS uses the computer as the medium, allowing the art to be not only animated, but also interactive. KiSS is an Open standard which has to some extent been implemented on nearly every possible platform, including several PDAs. It has also been implemented in Java and on the web. KiSS originated in Japan in 1991 with 'dolls' based on girls' manga characters.
