3D comes and goes in and out of fashion. The main 'put-off' is having to wear 3D glasses or having to use a 3D viewer to see images in true solid form. Your photographs and all traditional art is really flat 2D where the artist has used perspective and other clever methods so we can perceive 3 dimensional representations of our physical world. The problem comes because we have two eyes and we perceive the world with two views, one from each eye. Our brains are very good at combining the two images to create a single understanding of what we see. This provides us with a sense of depth. Mol Smith's 'glasses-free' art and products uses clever contemporary lenticular screens over artwork and images modified skillfully to 'throw-out' information to each of our two eyes. The screens are made from micro-lenses enabling you to look at a picture and immediately see it in true 3D, like real life. No mobile phone or electronic device is required. You simply look at the picture and amazingly - it is solid, real... 3D! [home]
