  • Patent number: 5966105
    Abstract: A structure for creating brighter viewing three dimensional images which have a spacer with a rastor pattern having parallel lineations of alternately opaque and optically clear portions on one side of the spacer; an image on the opposite side of the spacer parallel to and spaced apart from the rastor pattern such that when viewed from said rastor side of the spacer, a three dimensional image is seen; and, the rastor pattern, spacer and or the image form a light enhancing structure to increase light impingement through the structure by various means and combinations of structure of the rastor, spacer and/or the image.

  • Patent number: 4596458
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for making three-dimensional photographs involve projecting from a fixed position a first one of a series of images in a predefined projected image area on a structure, moving the structure and projecting from the fixed position a second one of the series of images on the structure in the predefined image area. The structure includes a raster mounted to a spacer which supports a film stock on an opposing side. Exposure of the film is controlled by a shutter on the raster side of the structure. Also disclosed are various photograph structures employed to obtaining the series of images to be projected and various constructions of the structure related to making the three-dimensional photographs in addition to the techniques for establishing the predefined image area.

  • Patent number: 4557954
    Abstract: A method of making a high quality three-dimensional photograph is disclosed. The method utilizes a camera with a film mount therein, a rastor, a film, a separator for keeping the line rastor separate from the film, and a vacuum generating device for maintaining a vacuum in the vicinity of the separator thereby bringing the film into intimate contact with the separator and maintaining the intimate contact through successive exposures and movements of the film and line rastor. After repeated exposure of the film in various positions with respect to the subject being photographed, the film and rastor are laminated to opposing sides of the separator and the resulting photograph is viewed from the rastor-carrying side of the photograph by means of a light source and diffusion screen on the film-carrying side of the photograph.
