Stereoscopic enhancement of pictorial displays
Abstract
Abstract METHODS AND APPARATUS ARE DESCRIBED FOR ENHANCING THE STEREOSCOPIC INFORMATION CONTENT OF A TWO-DIMENSIONAL DISPLAY SURFACE SO THAT STEREOSCOPIC INFORMATION IS PERCEIVED WITH THE REALISM OF THE ORIGINAL SCENE. THE APPARATUS INCLUDES A STEREOGRAPHIC FRAME SURROUNDING THE DISPLAY AND SPACED THEREFROM. THE FRAME, INCLUDING MEANS FOR DECREASING THE SCENE BRIGHTNESS AT A NON-LINEAR RATE, DISASSOCIATES THE DISPLAY FROM THE SURROUNDING ENVIRON- MENT BY DEFOCUSING THE EDGE OF THE FRAME SO THAT IT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE MIND OF THE VIEWER TO DETERMINE THE DISTANCE "D" BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE DISPLAY SURFACE. SUITABLE SPACINGS D RANGE BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY W/40 AND W/5, WHERE W IS EQUAL TO THE WIDTH OF THE DISPLAY SURFACE.
