COLOR AND MOTION BASED DEPTH EFFECTS

The current invention discloses methods for using laterally moving objects and laterally moving backgrounds in colored live scenes to create the perception of depth when scenes are viewed with viewer glasses having lens or filters of two different colors. The invention also discloses methods for using laterally moving objects and laterally moving backgrounds in colored imagery to create the perception of depth when the imagery is viewed with viewer glasses having lens or filters of two different colors. In a further aspect, the invention discloses colored imagery comprising laterally moving objects and laterally moving backgrounds to create the perception of depth when the imagery is viewed with viewer glasses having lens or filters of two different colors. In a still further aspect, the current invention relates to processes for operating a data processor with a visual display to generate colored imagery on the display with laterally moving objects and laterally moving backgrounds to create the perception of depth when the display is viewed with viewer glasses having colored lens or filters. The methods may be used for live scenes such as stage productions, motion picture films, video tapes and other types of media. The imagery can be displayed on movie screens, video displays (television, computer displays, video games, etc.) and other types of devices. The computer processes can be used with computer screen savers, video games, and other types of systems that generate imagery in real time.
