Interactive diagrams from static books

There's been talk for years about textbooks being interactive, and with the introduction of the iPad we started to see some of those things (who, among early iPad users, didn't buy The Elements?). Textbooks come alive with new, interactive AI tool, "record" the diagram on an iPad, use Meta's "Segment Anything" tool to make the diagram interactive, with a claimed 60% success rate right now.

The video is worth a watch, they demonstrate some simple ramp and optics/ray tracing problems and experimenting with resistor networks.
