The principle of lenticular graphics originated in the 17th century. Digital 3D lenticular printing, however, started in the 1980s. Gadgets fans and advanced photographers are interested in this again.
How are lenticular images created?
3D lenticular printing uses “stereo optics.” As with stereo music even perceive the 3D lenticular image, two different signals for different information. Lenticular technology is based on the stereographic optical illusion. It is one of those technologies that use tricked human eyes to create a stereo effect.
3D lenticular printing
The basis of such a lenticular image is a lenticular sheet. It is a transparent plastic film which is formed from outside the system of parallel lenses. Lenticular also means something like a lens or optical. The observed 3D image is directly dependent on the angle of refraction and the subsequent image. This leads to various changes in the optical image and the “mixing”. This creates animated motion or “3D” impression of depth and space.
