The 3D moiré effect creates an impressive 3D illusion that doesn't require any visual aids to observe. Although it has been known for a while, it has recently gained more attention due to advancements in printing technologies that allow for commercial and artistic exploration.

Initially, it was used to produce images of floating planes. Gradually, it has been discovered that the surface can be sculpted into various forms, like a hemisphere, which has opened up new applications and increased interest in the effect.

This book explains the theoretical foundations of the 3D moiré effect and how to sculpt the display into different surface geometries. It provides numerical and analytical methods for the computation of the image-warping transformation involved in the sculpting process. The book is based on original and hitherto unpublished research. It explores two types of 3D moiré assemblies: optical and parallax-barrier. The optical category offers superior imaging and visual qualities and involves optical micro-lens arrays like lenticular and fly-eye sheets. The parallax barrier assembly is made from purely mechanical components.

Throughout the analysis, several new concepts are presented, which might require considerable effort from the reader to grasp. To make the process easier, the matter is unveiled gradually, step by step. Firstly, moiré setups that exhibit floating planes are thoroughly analyzed. Then, the sculpting theory is introduced to generalize the floating planes scenario. To aid in comprehension, numerous figures and examples are

utilized in the text to guide the reader.

It's important to note that creating 3D moiré pictures requires both theoretical knowledge and specific software and production processes, so readers looking to learn that skill may not find what they're looking for in this book. However, for those interested in exploring the topic on a theoretical level or writing software for 3D moiré applications, this book is a valuable resource.

The concluding chapters briefly discuss the relation of 3D moiré setups with 3D lenticular and fly-eye pictures and the new concept of 3D moiré optics.

"Dr. Yitzhak Weissman received his Ph.D. degree from Tel Aviv University in 1981. Since then, his career interleaved scientific and applied research.During his academic career, Yitzhak published over 30 scientific papers and a book: ""Optical Network Theory"" in 1991. The subjects of his scientific publications include solid-state physics, quantum mechanics, optical fibers, infrared technology, optical noise, optical engineering, and heat transfer. He spent two sabbatical periods in the US: first in the UC Berkeley Chemistry Department in 1981 as a post-doctoral fellow, and second in the University of Utah Electrical Engineering Department in 1991 as a Visiting Professor. In 1992 Yitzhak turned to the private sector and supervised development projects like a flight-control simulator, IR spectroscopy, diamond color grading, and needleless tattooing. He established Advisol in 2001, a company that specialized in polarizing filters for 3D projection displays. These filters were versatile and covered a wide range of applications. Thanks to a patented technology, special models of Advisol's filters reached 70% polarization efficiency in LCD projectors. This breakthrough technology was highly regarded in the field. In 2010, Yitzhak established Pop3DArt, a subsidiary of Advisol that focuses on research, publication, and software development for lenticular print and related areas. Pop3DArt published two of Yitzhak's books: ""Lenticular Imaging"" in 2018 and ""The 3D Moiré Effect"" (the present book) in 2023. Pop3DArt also operates a lenticular print studio. Yitzhak was born in Poland in 1949. In 1957 he immigrated with his family to Israel. He is married, has two children, and lives in Herzliya, Israel."

Reviews for The 3D Moiré Effect: for Fly-Eye, Lenticular, and Parallax-Barrier Setups

"Lenticular Imaging: Theory and Practice Simonius, five stars I was angry at first, but I learned to appreciate this. January 24, 2021 Verified PurchaseI thought this book would launch me into Lenticular printing as an authority on the subject. It saddens me and hurts my pride to say that this IS rocket science. I have nothing but the deepest respect and admiration for Mr. Yitzhak Weissman (the author). Thank God for men like him, the ones who LIKED math and scoured over countless tables and logarithms to make that concoction that we all hope will transmute the mundane into gold. Make no mistake about it Mr. Yitzhak Weissman is a contemporary alchemist. Should this wizard ever complete a tutorial book or offer a software, I would snatch it up without a moments thought, and at a dear price. Lenticular Imaging: Theory and Practice Petr Lobaz, four stars A valuable book for those who need to understand optics of lenticular imaging August 4, 2019 Verified PurchaseThe book must be reviewid with an important detail in mind: there is no other book on lenticular imaging like this. As far as I know, the only in-depth analysis of lenticular imaging was provided by Okoshi in 1976 in ""Three-Dimensional Imaging Techniques"". While still relevant, the Okoshi's book focuses on photo-chemical lenticular imaging, while the Weissman's book deals mainly with digital print production. So, it is difficult to judge how good is the book, as it is the only one in the category. (I am aware there is a vast literature on integral imaging for electronic displays, which is a completely different subject). As an optician and a casual developer of lenticular software, I found the book useful. Not a ""must have book"", as I derived most of the results provided in the book myself. Anyway, I found some very good insights in the book I did not notice before, and it is always good to have an independent view on the subject at hand. I think the biggest weakness of the book is that analysis of a particular problem usually lacks conclusions and recommendations for practice. I would recommend the book to developers of lenticular software or lenticular sheets. I would not recommend the book to content creators of lenticular prints. Lenticular Imaging: Theory and Practice Mike, five stars A unique book about Lenticular Optics February 7, 2018 A great reference for anyone interested in the field of lenticular imaging. Written by an expert in the field. The book is loaded with illustrations, photographs, and formulas to explain many of the principles. This is the only book of its kind. It is technical in nature, but the author explains the concepts clearly. Lots of mathematical equations for those with a scientific or engineering interest."
