DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
This invention relates to an apparatus for the formation of a visual sense effect and a method for the formation of a visual sense effect which form a visual sense effect of enabling an object of a polygonal shape to be perceived as though it were repeating enlargement, contraction, deformation, and an eccentric motion by virtue of the illusionary effect in the visual sense.
2. Background Art
Heretofore, as means to produce a visual sense effect of enabling an object of a polygonal shape to be perceived as though it were repeating enlargement, contraction, deformation, and an eccentric motion, the method which actually causes an image of the object of a polygonal shape to be enlarged, contracted, deformed, and eccentrically moved has been known in the art.
The visual sense effect which is obtained at all by the conventional method described above, however, is confined within the realm of prediction. Thus, this method has not been fully capable of permitting perception of unexpectedness.
This invention, produced in view of the true state described above, has for an object thereof the provision of an apparatus for the formation of a visual sense effect and a method for the formation of a visual sense effect which enable an object of a polygonal shape to be perceived as though it were being enlarged, contracted, deformed, and eccentrically moved and giving rise to strange unexpected, notwithstanding the object is not physically being enlarged, contracted, deformed, and eccentrically moved.
Disclosure of the Invention
The apparatus for the formation of a visual sense effect according to this invention comprises a first object having windows arranged around an axis of rotation and a second object of a polygonal shape so disposed that part thereof may be seen through the windows of the first object and is characterized by enabling the first object and the second object to be rotated relative to each other round the axis of rotation.
The apparatus for the formation of a visual sense effect according to this invention comprises a first object having concealing parts arranged around an axis of rotation and a second object of a polygonal shape so disposed that part thereof may be rendered invisible by being concealed with the concealing parts of the first object and is characterized by enabling the first object and the second object to be rotated relative to each other round the axis of rotation.
The apparatus for the formation of a visual sense effect according to this invention comprises a first object having mirror surfaces arranged around an axis of rotation and a second object of a polygonal shape so disposed that part thereof may be reflected by the mirror surfaces of the first object and is characterized by enabling the first object and the second object to be rotated relative to each other round the axis of rotation.
The method for the formation of a visual sense effect according to this invention is characterized in that a first figure corresponding to a first object having windows arranged around an axis of rotation and a second figure corresponding to a second object of a polygonal shape so disposed that part thereof may be seen through the windows of the first object are so displayed on an image plane as to be rotated relative to each other round the axis of rotation.

In the present invention, an object of a polygonal shape which actually is not being enlarged, contracted, deformed, or eccentrically moved at all is enabled by virtue of the newly found
