We can see more than one image at a time by looking at the image through the lens. The contour of the lens is something that allows eyes in concentrating on different aspects of the picture. Rather than a whole image in one piece which allows the 3D effect to emerge, the image is printed in strips.
2. Presenting 3D effects on 2D printed media can
be done by lenticular printing. The lenticular
sheet is a piece of plastic that is used to reflect
light differently depending on the viewing
angle. As we know human eyes are 5 to 6.5 cm
apart so no matter what objects we are
viewing the left eye and the right eye will
automatically form two different viewing
angles. Because of this fact, a human can
perceive the world 3-dimensionally.
There are many lenticular on a lenticular
sheet and each lenticular functions as a
convex lens. The lens can present different
images to the left eye and the right eye with
careful calibration and design, giving the
human brain the illusion of 3D lenticular
advertising. From centuries artists have been
trying how to represent depth and 3-
dimensionality. Lenticular printing is a
technology in which to produce images with
an illusion of depth we use lenses.
3. We take a look at how in contemporary art lenticular prints are coming to the forefront and as a
respected artistic medium, it takes their place in the history of art. This type of lenticular
sticker is a technique in which there is the use of several images that are sliced into strips and
interlaced together. Then a plastic sheet consisting of a set amount of linear prism-like lenses is
placed on top and for the 3-dimensional effect to work, it is perfectly aligned with the images.
4. Depending on the position of the viewer, each lens acts as a magnifying glass so that it can
enlarge and display a different portion of the image. When a viewer looks at the image from a
different angle from left to right what creates a large 3D photo plane is the combination of many
lenses working together with many interlaced images. This is because the print is viewed by
each eye from a slightly different angle and it sees a different image with different perspective
views of the subject, resulting in the 3D stereoscopic effect.
