ABSTRACT:
A method and system for creating a three dimensional viewing illusion in true color uses left and right images of a stereo pair which are designed to be viewed respectively by the left and right eyes of a viewer as a single three dimensional image. In synchrony therewith, light from a light source device is alternately shown to the right and left eyes of the viewer so that while the eyes do view both of the left and right stereo images, the contrast of the eye receiving both the light and the stereo image designed for the other eye is reduced. In the various embodiments, the light source device includes a left and a right light source. In one embodiment the light sources are collimated and suitably aimed at the respective eyes. Preferably, the position of the eyes are also tracked and the aiming of the sources is adjusted as the viewer moves. In another embodiment, the light sources are mounted adjacent the associated eye of the viewer on an object which is worn by the viewer. In still another embodiment, the light sources are polarized differently. Then, mounted to an object worn by the viewer is a left light filter device for preventing polarized light from the right light source from being passed and hence received by the left eye and a right light filter device for preventing polarized light from the left light source from being passed and hence received by the right eye.
