X, Y, Z: Let's talk about depth

Some thoughts about stereoscopic tech.

Transcript

1. (X,Y,Z) let’s talk about depth.
2. parallax barrier • (x,y,z,(t)) coordinate system • autostereoscopy • multiscopy • reality vs. screen
6. Devices with parallax barriers automatically create the depth illusion without having to “set” your eyes. MULTISCOPY
7. Nintendo 3DS An autostereoscopic portable game console. HTC EVO 3D Smart phone with 3D gaming. LG Optimus 3D 3D photo and video creation as well as 3D content consumption. PARALLAX BARRIER DEVICES
8. WHY! the z-axis: offers another level of heirarchy to visual compositions. the z-axis: turns a flat screen into a window ...to another dimension. the z-axis: feels magical.
9. Uncommon Parallax barriers are not yet a ubiquitous technology. Vision Trouble A small percentage of people lack stereovision (but it’s usually treatable). Motion Sickness A subset of people with vision problems can also become nauceous. HINDRANCES AND DRAWBACKS reference: http://www.3df33d.tv/the-future-of-3DTV-problems-with-3D
10. Experiement More experiementing with the technology will increase general awareness. Eye Exams As popularity increases, people will be more likely to practice their stereovision abilities. Quality Improvements in the technology and vision treatment will reduce the occurance of motion sickness. SOLUTIONS reference: http://www.3df33d.tv/the-future-of-3DTV-problems-with-3D
11. BUT! The examples here are presented as autostereograms since we don’t all have the fancy technology yet. You must(!) train your eyes to decouple eye convergence from lens focusing.
12. Look through the page as if you are looking at something off in the distance. The two dots will come together to create a third dot. autostereogram: HOW TO
13. CREATING DEPTH The distance between dots on the x-axis determines their placement on the z-axis.
17. the end.
