Publication number: 20220191465Abstract: High-frame-rate stereoscopic projection using a single digital projector provides a powerful sense of immersion when shown on wide screens, and the human eye perceives each frame as unique and separate from the others by virtue of the natural left-right “shuttering” that occurs via the chosen 3D projection technology. Techniques are provided for the introduction of one or more consecutive “digital dark frames” into the image streams presented to the dual projectors in such a manner that the sequence of out-of-phase photography is replicated via out-of-phase projection. This is achieved by alternately introducing the dark frames so that the sequence of stereoscopic images is presented in proper temporal continuity.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Applicant: Magi International, LLCInventor: Douglas Trumbull

Patent number: 11223818Abstract: A digital cinematographic and projection process that provides 3D stereoscopic imagery that is not adversely affected by the standard frame rate of 24 frames per second, as is the convention in the motion picture industry worldwide. A method for photographing and projecting moving images in three dimensions includes recording a moving image with a first and a second camera simultaneously and interleaving a plurality of frames recorded by the first camera with a plurality of frames recorded by the second camera. The step of interleaving includes retaining odd numbered frames recorded by the first camera and deleting the even numbered frames, retaining even numbered frames recorded by the second camera and deleting the odd numbered frames, and creating an image sequence by alternating the retained images from the first and second camera.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: Magi International LLCInventor: Douglas Trumbull
