 Here is an overview of what the "1R", "1L", and similar annotations represent and how they are utilized in your document:

  • 1R (Right Side Image): Refers to an image designed to be viewed on the right side of a stereoscopic or layered animation sequence. It contains unique elements that, when combined with its corresponding left image, contribute to creating a hidden or dynamic third image or animation.

  • 1L (Left Side Image): The left-side counterpart of 1R, containing complementary features that, when viewed with 1R, either through stereoscopic methods or superimposition, form a complete or animated scene.

  • 1LM (Left Side, Mirrored): A mirrored version of the left-side image, used for creating more complex depth or movement effects. This technique allows for the perception of symmetry or rotation when combined with the right-side image.

  • 1LW (Left Side, Flipped Horizontally): The flipped horizontal version of the left-side image. This variant allows for further visual disorientation and layering effects in animations.

These notations are used to create effects where subtle differences between images are perceived as motion or depth when alternated in rapid succession, viewed cross-eyed, or superimposed. Here's how they were described and used in the document:

Example Usage of "1R" and "1L"

  1. Designing 1R and 1L for Hidden Image Creation:

    • Objective: Create two complementary images, 1R and 1L, that appear distinct but reveal a hidden third image when viewed using the eye-crossing technique (similar to an autostereogram). The slight differences between 1R and 1L are carefully encoded to generate depth perception or new elements when merged by the brain.

    • Technique: In 1L, abstract or remove certain elements that are visible in 1R and vice versa. When the images are crossed visually, the missing components from each side will combine to reveal the hidden third image .

  2. Creating Animation from 1L, 1R, and 1LR (Superimposed Frame):

    • Objective: By designing subtle pose differences between 1L (left figure) and 1R (right figure), the viewer can perceive motion when the images are alternated. For example, 1L represents the start of a movement, while 1R shows the next step, and 1LR blends the two for a transitional state.

    • Details: In 1L, the figure may have a slightly tilted head and open hands, while in 1R, the figure shows more dynamic movement with raised arms and clenched hands. The convergence of these two poses (1LR) creates the illusion of in-between motion, suggesting the figure is rotating or preparing to step forward .

  3. Stereoscopic Effects with Crossed Views:

    • Method: Draw slightly different versions of the same object in 1L and 1R, mimicking how the eyes perceive depth through binocular vision. When viewed with the eyes crossed, the two images merge to create a 3D illusion. For example, objects in 1R might be positioned slightly to the right, while in 1L, they are shifted to the left .
