ABSTRACT:
An advertising message is placed upon the planar surface of a thin negative lens, preferably of fresnelled construction. The lens is, in turn, placed upon a window, preferably a store front window affording a view to a background merchandising display. When viewed by passersby (preferably pedestrian traffic), differential angular movement of the store front display in the negative lens to the store front display out of the negative lens results. This causes differential apparent angular motion to the viewer and draws immediate attention to the lens and its message. For store front traffic passing relatively close to the window, both the display and the message as viewed by the passersby become simultaneously visible due to two effects. First, the negative fresnelled lens makes the display (as viewed through the lens) and the message appear with a minimum depth of field differential. The ambient depth of field of the human eye of the passerby accommodates both the message and the display when viewed through the fresnelled lens. Second, the negative lens compresses what would otherwise be the natural binocular parallax effect of the human eyes. Thus, suppression of either the background in favor of the message, or the message in favor of the background, does not occur, making both message and display simultaneously visible.
