you're lookin' at it

I will promote the schools I have attended for the low, low rates of...

pro se litigation; invent a 3D video camera that produces a 3D video using PERSISTENCE OF VISION, as used to make pictures move, video stereography viewed without devices or freeviewing, on common television and computer screens. INTRIGUE: intellectual property, patent: they invented the 3D TV camera in the early 80s but! sat on it and sold us colonoscopy instead. Google wobble animate gif for examples of early/comtemporary PoV. TO BE EXPLOITED BY PERSISTENCE OF VISION, MULTIPLE LENSES ELECTRONICALLY COORDINATED. That said: the sample featured is viewed best in parallel freeviewing or buying a pair of glasses; see link below video. Both crosseyes and parallel freeviewing create the same sensation: three pictures, the one in the middle in 3D. In my experience, parallel will need more distance between image and viewer. In the early 80s, a camera was invented at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I've read the two patents. It has 4 lenses coordinated by computer. (Even tho we have 2 eyes, 2 cameras are not enough for one PoV camera; the eyes are constantly scanning.) A prototype produced a videotaped sample using a plant as a subject, broadcast by US television network ABC in black and white to simplify the creating of the prototype, to my TV set. I saw it, 3D without needing an optical device or freeviewing. It looked dreamy, like steadycam can. I think the camera moved. I cannot find that sample online. The resulting images were alternated by a computer to create the phenomenon PERSISTENCE OF VISION, used to create MOTION pictures, could be used to create pictures with 3D DEPTH too.(At least two pictures for motion, at least two pictures for depth.) THIS WAS THE 80s, BEFORE THERE WAS PHOTOSHOP. UNCCH's site now features videos that have 4 images that are not overlaid, as in stereography, but are stitched side by side: VERY DISAPPOINTING! Now there are false postings from UNCCH, University of Kentucky, DARPA (Department of Defense), *urban landscaping* razzle dazzle. (Posting comments at those videos, YT channel philippos3 , is a strange experience. They are *subject to approval* and as such my comments are not posted there, BUT they are at this channel at My Recent Comments; such intrigue.) See the Chapel Hill Reconstruction 2 video at Favorites.*This is just 2D. This isn't 3D.This video doesn't make your point. We've seen this at photoshop and one lens. This video could have been made with one, conventional camera. DoD dud.You rely on movement, in this case camera. (Illusions of depth and movement can be related.) Show us 3D without camera or subject movement, no movement, like you did in the 80s. Not a landscape, but a still life, a bush/flower as I recall. A STILL LIFE PROVES IT. The electronic coordination of four, or optimal number, images screened at a speed that best creates a persistence of vision for depth. What is the optimal number? We already know two images work very well for still imagery. We also know two images work as persistence of vision for the illusion of motion. I'm using the phrase *art ignorant*: these people seem to have never studied art history, specifically, perspective. Instead of persistence of vision they serve up photoshop dramatics, using 2D illusions like perspective, shading, contrast, and even motion, to create 2D depth but, NO 3D!; with 4 cameras no less! Two pictures have been used but suffer the same problem early motion pictures suffered: lots of flicker, if you like your 3D with earthquakes.Chapel Hill reconstruction 2 (1 month ago) Dear DARFA, DoD, UNCCH, Uniersity of Kentucky: you were supposed to create computer program that would coordinate your four lenses electronically for persistence of vision, not this photoshop bird camera, hyper contrast, wide angle disappointing Department of Defense dud. See stereography.The background is from a series of paintings I made in the 80s, (see Art in America May 1983 p.116) a detail from Painting and Television, while on the way to bringing TV to 3D. One theme of the paintings was continuous tone vs. half tone imagery. Mixed media, mixed genre, from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other: from avant garde abstraction to avant garde realism. 3DTV? I think now the paintings suggest PoV by alternating the image in the half scan, every 1/60 of a second.

Enjoy the freeviewed video stereography. Just cross your eyes abit, let them drift back until there's a 3D picture in between the left and the right pictures. It's a learned visual skill, the recoordination of the muscles that control focus and parallax. Two aspirin may be called for at first; look at a palm. It is harmless, no injury in spite of headache. After enough use and once the muscles are in shape, no headache and real 3D! Tip: (works only with crosseyes) block the two side images with a V of your fingers. Parallel freeviewing is sometimes used. Just relax the eyes so that the right eye sees only the right picture, and vice versa. ADVANTAGE: when you learn how to freeview, you can make and view your own 3D. Many thanks to nytram1309, who is posting some brilliant work, bringing stereographic conversion to YT. The anaglyphs are well done. Go here for a free pair of anaglyph glasses: http://rainbowsymphony.com/freestuff.html
