Abstract
This invention relates to a system for photographing, presenting and viewing 3D images, in which a set of mutually extinguishing multichrome 'C' and 'D' filters in spectacles is utilized to cover a first eye with a 'C' blue filter and a second eye with a 'D' orange filter. The 'C' blue filter transmits at 400 to 500 nm.The 'D' orange filter absorbs from 400nm to 500 nm and transmits from 500 nm to 700 nm. Standard color film may be utilized to photograph stereo image pairs of the subject in which a first image is in blue, and a second image is in orange. With this system, one eye transmits a first stereo image in blue via retinal receptors to the brain and the other eye transmits a second stereo image in orange via other retinal receptors to another portion of the brain. Thus, the stereo images are separated according to their 3-dimensional displacements and color. The brain integrates the color and 3D information received by the two eyes to produce a full 3D color picture. The 3D color system of this invention is compatible with still and movie color photography, printing inks, and color 3D TV. For color 3D TV using a cathode ray tube color screen, the blue dots display the first stereo image and the green and red dots display the second stereo image. Another set of 'A' and 'B' mutually extinguising filters is described, which may be employed in lieu of the set of 'C' and 'D' filters. A 3D color camera using multichrome filter sets is described which may be modified for use with film or TV.
