STEREO WINDOW DEMONSTRATION |
 |
| This simple animation
above is made from seven stereo pairs arranged in such a way as to show
how the placement of the subject in relation to the frame of the image
affects where the stereo window will appear to exist. As explained in the
STEREO WINDOW page, the stereo
window is that imaginary plane at the frame of the picture. If an object
protrudes into space in front of this window, we call this effect "coming
through the stereo window". As long at the protruding object, like the
wine glass with the hand - but not the body, protrude through the stereo
window, we accept the image as "normal" and possible in our physical
world. This is so because the hand and glass don't touch the outside
frames of the picture. However, when the whole body starts to come through
the stereo window, our mind cannot easily respond to an impossible
situation, where part of the body comes through the window and the bottom
is cut in half. So, in order to achieve a correct stereo window, objects
that come through it must not touch the frame of the picture, as the hand
and glass above.
Observe how the figure above is totally behind the window and gradually comes completely out through it and then goes back. |
