Abstract: |
A viewer for producing the illusion of three-dimensional images from two-dimensional moving image displays which includes a spectacle-like support having a frame and lateral bows on the frame for engagement with the ears of the user. The frame is made of opaque material in which a rectangular opening is provided for each eye of the user. Forwardly extending, tubular light shields are carried by the frame around each rectangular opening.

Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. A viewer for producing an illusion of three-dimensional images from moving two-dimensional images, comprising a frame including a front face and a pair of bows hinged thereto for securing said frame to the head of a user; a pair of spaced, substantially rectangular slits in said front face of said frame disposed in front of the eyes of a user; tubular, light-absorbing, dark, masks around said slits on said front part extending forward of the viewer; a first band pass light filter within one of said slits, said first filter transmitting a small proportion of blue light in the region 400 to 475 nm and a greater proportion of red light beyond 6700 nm in combination with a neutral filter having a transmittance of the order of 75%, said filter permitting only a scotopic vision in one eye and a second band pass light filter in the other slit, said second filter having band pass characteristics with a peak of 50% to 85% at about 50 nm and at 70% of peak having a width of between 410 nm and 730 nm, permitting only photopic vision in the other eye.
