Abstract:
A method of optimizing the viewing zone of a lenticular stereogram, comprising:a. providing a test image in intimate juxtaposition with a lenticular screen, wherein the test image includes a plurality of columns each corresponding to an individual lenticule of the lenticular screen, and wherein each column of the test image has a predefined column width and includes at least a first stripe of a first color and a second stripe of a second color alternating with each other, and wherein the first color and the second color are visually distinct; b. observing the test image and lenticular screen from a specified viewing position with a viewing device, wherein the viewing device includes a first eye perspective viewer and a second eye perspective viewer; c. determining an optimum column width for an interdigitated stereoscopic image, wherein the optimum column width is obtained when the first color is observed with the first eye perspective viewer while the second color is observed with the second eye perspective viewer in step b; d. providing a modified test image if the optimum column width is not obtained in step c and then repeating steps b and c with the modified test image, wherein the modified test image is identical to the test image except that the column width is altered; and e. producing a stereoscopic image for use in a lenticular stereogram, wherein the stereoscopic image includes interdigitated columns each having the optimum column width.
