===The Shutter=== | ===The Shutter=== | ||
To enable animation and shutter on the same level we have several approaches for realisation. On the one hand we want to try positioning the different animation phases like figures on a carrousel. The shutters shall be constructed like poles between the figures, so that they darken the viewing windows for a short time. This approach probably will not give a good contrast on the animation, because the period of darkness will have to be pretty long to achieve the desired effect. | |||
Another approach is a pure optical shutter. The setting of the animation stays the same as in the other approach. (carrousel) You look on the carrousel through a viewing window from the outside and always see the figure that is nearest to the window. Above the viewing window is a hole for light incidence. | |||
This hole will be darkened by a shutter drum between the animation phases, so that a strobe effect is generated. This strobe will divide the animation phases. | |||
This effect could also be achieved with a strobe light, but this will probably bring problems with the rotation speed. A mechanical shutter drum has the advance, that the speed of the strobe effect is exactly silmutaneous to the rotation of the carrousel (because the drum and the carrousel are driven by the same crank handle) | |||

* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChromaDepth | Additionally we want to experiment with a special 3d technique called chromadepth. Chromadepth is a special 3d visualisation that can display colours of a two-dimensional image on different 3d layers. Red colours appear in the front of the image, while blue colours appear in the back. This technique is designed for 2d images. But due to having only a small distance between the viewers eye and our animation this technique could improve the three-dimensionality of our animation. | ||
