Phanto-Popups™
 |
The
Phanto-Popup is a new type of 3D experience which combines anaglyph
(red/cyan 3D glasses viewing) with a pop-up format. |
|
Stereoscopic
(3D) images work by displaying two slightly different images, one for
each eye, simulating binocular vision, which is a depth cue that helps us
make spatial sense of the three-dimensional world. |
|
Anaglyph
images separate the left and right views by color, most often using a red
filter for the lett view and a cyan filter for the right view. |
|
Phantograms
are a special class of 3D images, in which the image is elongated and
displayed horizontally, creating the illusion that the subject is standing
up on a horizontal plane. |
|
Phanto-Popups™
combine a conventional (upright) 3D image with a (horizontal) phantogram, so
that the subject appears to be standing up against a 3D background scene, |
|
They
can be bought as an individual view or as a set of 6. |

Below
is a technical explanation but the effect is hard to describe without seeing the
actual product. 
The
Phanto-Popup is an extension of the phantogram that removes some of the
limitations of this fascinating and effective 3D imaging format. A phantogram is
a stereoscopic image that is displayed horizontally, usually an anaglyph, viewed
from above at about a 45 degree angle. The image is distorted
anamorphically, such that when viewed from the correct position, the anamorphic
distortion is canceled out by the foreshortening resulting from the viewing
position. By adding a vertical plane to a phantogram, the requirement that
the subject be below the viewer’s line of sight is removed and a background is
added, allowing for a far wider choice of subjects.
