Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for displaying raised images. A plate moves along at least one axis of motion. The movement of the plate is operative to adjust respective positions associated with a plurality of pins along the axis of motion. A clutch mechanism operates in conjunction with the plate to position each of the plurality of pins at a desired position along the axis of motion. This deforms a display surface defined by the plurality of pins.
