[0026] Aspects of the presently disclosed technology relate to simulation systems and methods. Gifts and decor are often expensive, fragile, bulky, and difficult to store or transport between locations. For example, stained glass provides beautiful decor and / or gifts, but the glass is breakable or heavy, such that transport and hanging may be challenging. Other popular gifts include trinkets or fabric decorations that lack undesirable presentation options for gifting and are prone to being misplaced, particularly during transport. Other gifts and decor may include flowers, which can only be enjoyed for a relatively short timeframe before spoilage. Accordingly, in some aspects, a simulation system includes a simulation display formed using one or more simulation panels. The simulation panels may be made from a variety of materials, including, but not limited to paper, to simulate various objects, such as flowers or stained glass. The simulation display may be connected to a simulation support, such that the simulation support orients the simulation display for presentation. It will be appreciated that the simulation system may be configured in various manners and include a variety of decorative features. Some examples of such configurations and decorative features are shown in the Figures and referred to in the Detailed Description and are intended to be exemplary and non-limiting.

[0027] To begin a detailed description of an example simulation system 100, reference is made to Figures 1-4. The simulation system 100 may be associated with a card 102. For example, the simulation system 100 may be receivable into, removable from, integrated with, and / or provided with the card 102. The card 102 may include a first side 106 and a second side 108 separated by a crease line. The card 102 is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The card 102 may include a cutout 110 forming a window through which at least a portion of the simulation system 100 is visible when the card 102 is in a closed position.

[0028] In some implementations, the simulation system 100 includes a simulation display 104 having one or more simulation panels 112. The simulation panels 112 may be made from a variety of materials. For example, the simulation panels 112 may be made from flexible material, rigid3105637327.1PCT / US25 / 43620 26 August 2025 (26.08.2025)106377-851255 material, paper, acetate, plastic, felt, fabric, acrylic, resin, metal, and / or so forth. The simulation panel(s) 112 may form a simulated stained glass panel configured to simulate a stained glass light interaction. The stained glass light interaction may include, without limitation, permitting light and detailed shapes to pass through the simulation panel(s) 112, permitting light but not detailed shapes to pass through the simulation panel(s) 112, reflecting light off the simulation panel(s) 112, generating a colored appearance by filtering light through colors of the simulation panel(s) 112, and otherwise changing a hue and / or intensity of light emitted through the simulation panel(s) 112. As such, the simulation panel(s) 112 may include one or more transparent portions, one or more translucent portions, one or more reflective portions, one or more colored portions, and / or the like. In some examples, the simulation panel(s) 112 are made from colored transparent acetate. In some examples, the simulation panel(s) 112 are made from felt as illustrated in Figure 4.

[0029] The simulation system 100 may include a simulation support 116. In some implementations, the simulation support 116 is connected to the simulation display 104, such that the simulation support 116 is configured to orient the simulation display 104 for presentation. For example, the simulation support 116 may be connected to a frame 114 of the simulation panel 112. The frame 114 may extend about at least a portion of one or more of the simulation panels 112. In some examples, the simulation support 116 includes a hanger configured to suspend the simulation during presentation.

[0030] As can be understood from Figure 2, the simulation system 100 is receivable into a receiving portion of the card 102 in some implementations. For example, the receiving portion may be positioned relative to one or more tabs (e.g., a first distal tab 118, a second distal tab 120, a proximal tab 122, etc.) to removably hold at least a portion of the simulation system 100. The tabs may include an opening directed inwardly towards the receiving portion and / or outwardly away from the receiving portion. For example, the tabs may open inwardly to receive a respective portion of the simulation display 104 and / or open outwardly to receive the hanger of the simulation support 116.

[0031] The card 102 and / or the simulation system 100 may include various components and / or decorative features. For example, the card 102 may include an insert 126 receivable into a pocket 124 of the card 102 and may include different shapes, materials, and / or ornamental features,4105637327.1PCT / US25 / 43620 26 August 2025 (26.08.2025)106377-851255 such as those shown in examples 128, 130, 132, 133, 134, and 136. Other variations are contemplated.

[0032] Turning to Figures 5-6, in some examples, the simulation system 100 includes a popup decoration 140. The popup decoration 140 may be formed from the simulation display 104 and / or the simulation support 106. The popup decoration 140 may include the simulation panels 112 in the form of a plurality of intersecting simulated stained glass panels as shown in example 138. In some examples, the popup decoration 140 is integrated with the card 102, such that the simulation support 116 mounts the simulation display 104 to the card 102 and / or the simulation support 116 forms the card 102. The popup decoration 140 is configured to move between a folded position 142 and an unfolded position 146 via one or more transition states 114. In some implementations, the folded position 142 includes the simulation panels 112 arranged in a longitudinal relationship, and the unfolded position 146 includes the simulation panels 112 arranged in a three-dimensional relationship.

[0033] Referring to Figures 5-14, in some examples, the simulation display 104 and / or the simulation support 116 includes a moveable system 200 and a stationary system 202. The moveable system 200 may include one or more movable panels 204, and the stationary system 202 may include one or more stationary panels 206. The simulation panels 112 may include the moveable panels 204 and / or the stationary panels 206. The stationary system 202 is mounted to the moveable system 200 at one or more mounting portions, such as one or more mount panels 208.

[0034] In some implementations, the simulation display 104 extends from the simulation support 116 along a central axis 210. The moveable system 200 may be configured to move along a longitudinal axis 212 between the folded position 142 and the unfolded position 146. The stationary system 202 may remain stationary relative to the longitudinal axis 212 as the moveable system 200 moves between the folded position 142 and the unfolded position 146. In the unfolded position 146, the popup decoration 140 may extend within three-dimensions along a first axis 214, a second axis 216, and a third axis 218. The central axis 210, a first fold line 220, and a second fold line 222 may all extend in a direction parallel to each other and transverse to the longitudinal axis 212. The simulation support 116 may extend between the first fold line 220 and the second fold line 222. In some examples, the simulation support 116 includes one or more support panels5105637327.1PCT / US25 / 43620 26 August 2025 (26.08.2025)106377-851255224 separated by one or more support fold lines 226, which may be positioned about the central axis 210 in the unfolded position 146.

[0035] To maintain the popup decoration 140 in the unfolded position 146, the simulation system 100 may include a lock 228. In some implementations, the lock 228 may extend distally past a distal edge 230 of the popup decoration 140 (e.g., of the simulation support 116), when the popup decoration 140 is in the folded position 144 and the lock 228 is in an unlocked position 280. The lock 228 may fold along a lock fold line 228, which may be the distal most portion of the simulation system 100 when the popup decoration 140 is in the folded position 144. When the lock 228 is in a locked position 278, the lock 228 may be positioned in an interior 234 of the simulation support 116, maintaining the popup decoration 140 in the unfolded position 146 with the distal edge 230 positioned on a surface for displaying the popup decoration 140. In some implementations, the lock 228 includes a first lock portion 236 separated from a second lock portion 238 by the lock fold line 232. The lock 228 may be mounted to the simulation support 116 using one or more lock mounts 240, which may be connected an interior side of the mount panels 208. The lock 228 may include a lock opening 242 for moving the lock 228 between the locked position 278 and the unlocked position 280.

[0036] In some examples, the popup decoration 140 includes a sleeve 244, which may be foldable along a first sleeve fold line 246 and a second sleeve fold line 248 positioned relative to the first and second fold lines 220 and 222 and the central axis 210 (e.g., parallel to each other and transverse to the longitudinal axis 212. The sleeve 244 may be formed from one or more sleeve panels 252 separated from each other by one or more sleeve panel fold lines 250. The sleeve panel fold lines 250 may be offset around the central axis 210 from the support panel fold lines 226. The simulation system 100 may include various ornamental features, such as those shown in examples 254, 256, 258, 260, 262, and 264. Other example variations are contemplated.

[0037] Turning to Figures 13-14, in some examples, the simulation support 116 and / or the sleeve 244 may include a first set of panels 270 extending transverse to a second set of panels 272 in the unfolded position 146 and generally in a same direction in the folded position 144. The first set of panels 270 may include a first set of tabs 276 intersecting with a second set of tabs 274 of the second set of panels 272. The first set of panels 270 and the second set of panels 272 may6105637327.1PCT / US25 / 43620 26 August 2025 (26.08.2025)106377-851255 form a grid that maintains the unfolded position 146 under the force of gravity. In other examples, the lock 228 maintains the unfolded position 146.

[0038] In some examples, the simulation system 100 may be received in a presentation system 300 (e.g., for shipping, delivery, presentation, storage, transport, etc.). The presentation system 300 may form an envelope. For instance, the presentation system 300 may include a central panel 302, a first side panel 304, a second side panel 306, and a third side panel 308. The presentation system 300 may move between a locked position and an unlocked position using a tab 310 insertable into a slit 312. The central panel 302 may include a central edge 318 extending from a first side edge 314 to a second side edge 316. The first side edge 314 may extend from the central edge 318 to a first lock edge 326, and the second side edge 316 may extend from the central edge 318 to a second lock edge 328. The first side panel 304 may extend from a first fold line 320 separating the first side panel 304 from the central panel 302 to the first lock edge 326, and the second side panel 306 may extend from a second fold line 322 separating the second side panel 306 from the central panel 302 to the second lock edge 328. The third side panel 308 is separated from the central panel 302 by a third fold line 324, with the third side panel 308 extending from the third fold line 324 to a third side edge 330. In the locked position, the presentation system 300 forms a receiving portion 332 to removably receive the simulation system 100.

[0039] Referring the Figures 17A-17B, the presentation system 300 may include a presentation panel 400 with an inner side 402 opposite an outer side 404. A first panel 406 and a second panel 408 may create a pocket 416 having an interior forming a receiving portion 410. The first panel 406 may extend from a first fold line 418 along a first edge 412, and the second panel 408 may extend from a second fold line 420 to a second edge 414, thereby forming the pocket 416.

[0040] In some examples, the simulation system 100 and / or the card 102 may include an output system having one or more lights 502 positioned relative to one or more openings 500 configured to emit light and / or one or more speakers configured to play sound. The lights 502 may be disposed in the popup decoration 140, the card sides 106 and / or 108, the simulation display 104, and / or the simulation support 116. The light and / or sound may trigger upon the card 102 moving from the closed position towards the open position and / or the popup decoration 140 moving from the unfolded position towards the folded position, for example. The light and sound may play for7105637327.1PCT / US25 / 43620 26 August 2025 (26.08.2025)106377-851255 a predetermined amount of time after trigger (e.g., 30 seconds) and then automatically cease. The lights 502 may be positioned offset from the openings 502 to create a glow appearance. The output system may be powered from a power system located in an interior of the card 102 and / or the simulation system 100.

[0041] Turning to Figure 19, the simulation panel 112 may be positioned in the cutout 110 of the card 102 to form a window. In some examples, the simulation panel 112 includes a sandwiched display 600 such as simulated flowers.

[0042] As can be understood from Figure 20, the simulation system 100 moves between an unfolded position 700 and folded position 702 in some implementations, with a locked position 704 maintaining the popup decoration 140 in the unfolded position 700. The simulation system 100 may include a first inner face 706, a second inner face 708, a first outer face 710, and a second outer face 712. A movable panel formed by the second inner face 708 and the second outer face 712 may move about a fold line 714 to move between the folded position 702 and the unfolded position 702. At least a portion of the back panel 716 may be receivable into a lock 718 of the second inner face 708 to move the simulation system 100 into the locked position 704.
