Abstract
A wearable device including an aperture configured for placement about a body part, a base configured for remaining adjacent the body part when the aperture is in place about the body part, a panel configured for movement relative to the base, wherein the base includes an outwardly facing surface presenting an image, the image includes a number of adjacent frames in a sequence forming a motion picture, and the panel includes a plurality of evenly spaced openings through which the frames are viewable one at a time in sequence as the panel moves relative to the base.
Claims20
A wearable device, comprising:
- an aperture configured for placement about a body part;
- a base configured for remaining adjacent the body part when the aperture is in place about the body part;
- a panel configured for movement relative to the base;
- wherein
- the base includes an outwardly facing surface presenting an image,
- the image includes a number of adjacent frames in a sequence forming a motion picture, and
- the panel includes a plurality of evenly spaced openings through which the frames are viewable one at a time in sequence as the panel moves relative to the base.
A method of preparing a motion picture for presentation on a viewing surface of a viewing device having an aperture, a base having the viewing surface, and a panel configured for movement relative to the base and including a plurality of evenly spaced openings each having an opening width and being spaced from adjacent openings by a spacing distance, the method comprising:
- preparing a number of adjacent frames in a sequence forming the motion picture;
- as to each frame, converting the frame into a plurality of evenly spaced slices of the frame that when viewed together present the frame, such that each slice of the frame has a slice width equal to the opening width, the slices of the frame are spaced from adjacent slices of the frame by a slice distance equal to the spacing distance, and each frame has a same number of slices as every other frame;
- sequentially interlacing the slices of the frames to form an interlaced image;
- and
- preparing a series image to fit a length of the viewing surface by duplicating end-to-end in series the interlaced image.
