A method for creating the perception of visual depth in two dimensional displays. A filter or lens of one color (for example red) covers the left eye of a viewer and a lens of another color (for example green) covers the right eye. Objects moving in either lateral direction can be made to appear closer to or farther away from the viewer depending upon the color of the objects and surrounds. Objects that appear brighter to the left eye appear closer to the viewer when they are moving from left to right. These left eye bright objects appear farther away from the viewer when they are moving from right to left. The effect is reversed for objects that appear brighter to the right eye. Objects that appear brighter to the right eye appear closer to the viewer when they are moving from right to left. These right eye bright objects appear farther away from the viewer when they are moving from left to right. The colors of the areas surrounding moving objects can produce or contribute to the depth effect. The amount of perceived depth is affected by the eye to eye brightness ratios of the objects and surrounds. More saturated colors, which produce higher eye to eye brightness ratios tend to produce larger effects. The strength of the depth effect is also affected by the rate of lateral movement in terms of visual angle. Faster moving objects produce a larger effect than slower moving objects.
A method of using colored backgrounds or surrounds of a first group of colors and a second group of colors as part of movie, video or other imagery which when observed through viewer glasses provides visual depth effects for laterally moving objects of brightness neutral colors, the method comprising:
A method of using objects of a first group of colors and objects of a second group of colors which move laterally against surrounds of brightness neutral colors as part of movie, video or other imagery which when observed through viewer glasses provides visual depth effects, the method comprising:
A method of using surrounds and laterally moving objects of a first group of colors and surrounds and laterally moving objects of a second group of colors as part of movie, video or other imagery which when observed through viewer glasses provides visual depth effects for the laterally moving objects, the method comprising:
