  • Patent number: 12444113
    Abstract: A method for providing an animated art experience to a user includes a user device receiving an image of an art piece selected by the user. The user device obtains information about the art piece. The user device presents a three-dimensional (3D) animated image that corresponds with the selected art image. Upon receiving an action by the user caused by a rotation or tilt of the user device, the user device provides a depth perspective view in correlation with the action and associated viewer angle of the art image such that further portions of the art image become visible. A background and a foreground of the image appear to move naturally as actions and associated viewer angles change.
