Abstract
An apparatus, including: a lens layer comprising a plurality of lenticular lenses, wherein the plurality of lenticular lenses comprise a predetermined focal length, an image layer comprising printed media; wherein the image layer is disposed behind the lens layer; and a pane layer comprising at least one illumination source; wherein the at least one illumination source illuminates the lens layer, image layer, and pane layer, generating a visualization of a three-dimensional image of the printed media. Other embodiments are claimed and described herein.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a lens layer comprising a plurality of lenticular lenses, wherein the plurality of lenticular lenses comprise a predetermined focal length;
- an image layer comprising printed media, wherein the image layer is disposed behind the lens layer, wherein the printed media is printed utilizing ultraviolet ink, the ultraviolet ink having an emitting wavelength based upon a color of the ultraviolet ink;
- and
- a pane layer comprising at least one illumination source;
- wherein the at least one illumination source illuminates the lens layer, image layer, and pane layer, generating a visualization of a three-dimensional image of the printed media.
A method for generating a visualized three-dimensional image, comprising:
- obtaining a lens layer comprising a plurality of lenticular lenses, wherein the plurality of lenticular lenses comprise a predetermined focal length;
- disposing an image layer comprising printed media behind the lens layer;
- and
- disposing a pane layer, comprising at least one illumination source, at a location selected from the group consisting of:
- between the lens layer and the image layer and behind the image layer, wherein the printed media is printed utilizing ultraviolet ink, the ultraviolet ink having an emitting wavelength based upon a color of the ultraviolet ink;
- and
- generating a visualization of a three-dimensional image of the printed media by illuminating, using the at least one illumination source, the lens layer, image layer, and pane layer.
