Full-color 3-D prints and transparencies

摘要

We have put into practical form one of Edwin Land's early inventions, the stereoscopic Vectography image. We have re-interpreted the concept to produce digital 3-D hardcopy conventiently from both photographic and digital 3-D records. Digital 3-D images may be produced directly by digital cameras, by computers and workstations, and by various instrumental outputs, or they may be acquired by scanning and digitizing photographic image pairs. Digital 3-D polarizing images are printed conventiently with an inket printer. to produce full-color 3-D hardcopy on standard inkjet printers we have formulated special inks and substrates. Our technique unites two very significant growing technologies, inkjet printing and 3-D imaging.
