Relief Technique

Relief technique is relatively simple. The brain perceives relief because each eye receives two distinct images. Indeed, the distance between both eyes creates a different point of view for each one of them. The brain forms relief out of those two images. The relief displayed by our screens is split up this way: 2/3 on the screen and 1/3 out of the screen.

To obtain a sensation of relief, the screen must display a different picture for each eye. The screen is equipped with a special lens that sends images in specific directions, so the viewer perceives them distinctly.

We generate and mix eight images for these particular screens. The lens of the screen breaks them down and sends the proper pictures to the proper eye. The advantage of having eight images is that it makes the relief very stable. This also allows for many viewers to see the relief on the same screen, at the same time.

The creation of a relief image happens this way:
- 3D creation of 8 images that present the same view but with a little shift in every one of them.
- Mixing of those eight images to make them one.
- Display and breakdown of the mixed image through the lens of the screen (sends pairs of images to both eyes).
