What Is A Lenticular?

A combination of a special kind of lens and an arrayed image which simulates depth or animation is called a lenticular. The pictures that take advantage of how visual cornea or eyes process the two images which are received by our eyes are called Auto stereoscopic images. A 3-dimensional image and depth is interpreted by them. A pseudo-hologram is produced that may look similar to an apple out of a flat poster, a person running or a distant car approaching and this is done by a lenticular which uses the relative movement of our bodies.

lenticular The two parts of lenticular includes lenticues which are a series of elongated plastic lenses which magnify, directs and focuses the right part of picture to your eyes. It looks like several pictures are jumbled by an interlaced background image. By dividing the images vertically and horizontally in stripes, an assembly is created. These are interlaced in such a manner that only one slice of each image is behind each lenticule.

When a viewer looks at the picture from different angles like tilting a hand held card or walking by a poster, then the different images appear to be in sequence. Each slices you see are controlled by a lenticular in a fashion that a whole and reassembled image at each point at an instant of time. Motion or depth is created as images blur due to smaller lenticules or rapid movement.

It depends upon how many pictures are related and how many are interlaced whether a lenticular image is capable of simulating how many different movements. The image will be of same object which is taken from different distances when you zoom. When one object turns into another object, it is called morph which is caused due to variation in motion like a ball that becomes a pot.

The images which are thematically related are used by a “flip” such as a ball and a bat. 3-D and depth are also related. At the same time point, the images which constitute are of same object but taken at different angles. So a depth is created when one eye sees one perspective and the other one sees a slightly angled perspective.
