Abstract
The ability of some people to perceive simulated stereoscopic images or even actual stereoscopic images can be enhanced by treating the two eyes differently. The disclosed system can enhance stereoscopic images by selectively modifying the incoming images using right/left differentiation filter. The system can also include the capability of filtering images using parameters that for which the right eye and left eye images are treated independently of each other.
Claims20
A stereoscopic viewing system that provides for the viewing of stereoscopic images by human beings, said stereoscopic image system comprising:
- a source component, said source component comprised of a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- a plurality of stereoscopic viewers, said plurality of stereoscopic viewers including a first stereoscopic viewer and a second stereoscopic viewer;
- said first stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a first frame;
- a first plurality of lenses, said first plurality of lenses including a first left lens and a first right lens connected to said first frame;
- said first plurality of lenses including a relational light attribute, and a first right/left differential pertaining to said relational light attribute;
- wherein said first left lens differs from said first right lens with respect to said relational light attribute by the magnitude of said first right/left differential;
- and
- said second stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a second frame;
- a second plurality of lenses, said second plurality of lenses including a second left lens and a second right lens connected to said second frame;
- said second plurality of lenses including said relational light attribute, and a second right/left differential pertaining to said relational light attribute;
- wherein said second left lens differs from said second right lens with respect to said relational light attribute by the magnitude of said second right/left differential;
- and
- wherein said first right/left differential is not identical to said second right/left differential.
A stereoscopic viewing system, comprising:
- a source component comprised of a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- a display component that provides for displaying said stereoscopic images;
- a plurality of stereoscopic viewers, said plurality of stereoscopic viewers including a first stereoscopic viewer and a second stereoscopic viewer;
- said first stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a first frame;
- a first plurality of lenses, said first plurality of lenses including a first left lens and a first right lens connected to said first frame;
- said first plurality of lenses including a relational light attribute, and a first right/left differential pertaining to said relational light attribute, wherein said relational light attribute is brightness;
- wherein said first left lens differs from said first right lens with respect to said relational light attribute by the magnitude of said first right/left differential;
- and
- said second stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a second frame;
- a second plurality of lenses, said second plurality of lenses including a second left lens and a second right lens connected to said second frame;
- said second plurality of lenses including said relational light attribute, and a second right/left differential pertaining to said relational light attribute;
- wherein said second left lens differs from said second right lens with respect to said relational light attribute by the magnitude of said second right/left differential;
- and
- wherein said first right/left differential is not identical to said second right/left differential.
- wherein said first stereoscopic viewer is substantially identical to said second stereoscopic viewer except for the difference between said first right/left differential and said second right/left differential
A stereoscopic viewing system, comprising:
- a source component comprised of a plurality of stereoscopic images;
- a plurality of stereoscopic viewers that provide for viewing said stereoscopic images, said plurality of stereoscopic viewers including an LED display, said plurality of stereoscopic viewers including a first stereoscopic viewer and a second stereoscopic viewer;
- said first stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a first frame;
- a first plurality of lenses, said first plurality of lenses including a first left lens and a first right lens connected to said first frame;
- said first plurality of lenses including a plurality of relational light attributes, and a first right/left differential pertaining to said plurality of relational light attributes;
- wherein said first left lens differs from said first right lens with respect to said relational light attributes by the magnitude of said first right/left differentials;
- and
- said second stereoscopic viewer comprising:
- a second frame;
- a second plurality of lenses, said second plurality of lenses including a second left lens and a second right lens connected to said second frame;
- said second plurality of lenses including said plurality of relational light attributes, and a second right/left differential pertaining to said relational light attributes;
- wherein said second left lens differs from said second right lens with respect to said relational light attributes by the magnitude of said second right/left differential;
- and
- wherein said first right/left differential is not identical to said second right/left differential.
- wherein said first stereoscopic viewer is substantially identical to said second stereoscopic viewer except for the difference between said first right/left differential and said second right/left differential
