ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the creation of pseudo-3D stereoscopic images and, in particular, also discloses a camera and printing output device that can create these images on demand.
DESCRIPTION OF BACKGROUND ART
The creation of stereoscopic views, with a first image being presented to the left eye and second image being presented to the right eye, thereby creating an illusion of a three dimensional surface is well known. However, previous systems have required complex preparation and high fidelity images have generally not been possible. Further, the general choice of images has been limited with the images normally only being specially prepared images.
There is a general need for being able to produce high fidelity stereoscopic images on demand and in particular for producing images by means of a portable camera device wherein the stereoscopic image can be taken at will.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a media for automatic production of stereographic images on demand.
In accordance with the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of creating a stereoscopic photographic image comprising:
(a) utilising a camera device to image a scene stereographically;
(b) printing said stereographic image as an integrally formed image at predetermined positions on a first surface portion of a transparent printing media, said transparent printing media having a second surface including a lensing system so as to stereographically image said scene to the left and right eye of a viewer of said printed stereographic image.
