The 3D Moiré Effect: for Fly-Eye, Lenticular, and Parallax-Barrier Setups

The 3D moiré effect creates an impressive 3D illusion that doesn't require any visual aids to observe. Although it has been known for a while, it has recently gained more attention due to advancements in printing technologies that allow for commercial and artistic exploration. Initially, it was used to produce images of floating planes. Gradually, it has been discovered that the surface can be sculpted into various forms, like a hemisphere, which has opened up new applications and increased interest in the effect. This book explains the theoretical foundations of the 3D moiré effect and how to sculpt the display into different surface geometries. It provides numerical and analytical methods for the computation of the image-warping transformation involved in the sculpting process. The book is based on original and hitherto unpublished research. It explores two types of 3D moiré assemblies: optical and parallax-barrier. The optical category offers superior imaging and visual qualities an
