Proposal 2

Topic: Stereoscopic-anaglyph 3D

Background:
Anaglyph images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with 2 color glasses (each lens a chromatically opposite color, usually red and cyan). It is produced by creating two pictures (or two videos) from slightly different angles.

How anaglyph works ?

Anaglyph images are created by creating two pictures (or two videos) from slightly different angles so that it tricks the eyes into seeing depth.

When we look into an anaglyph image, our brain sees the red filtered areas of the image as ‘white’. While the blue areas are perceived as ‘black’ Actual white or black areas are seen in the same way by each eye. Our brain blends the images together and sees the differences as being differences in distance.

Problem Identification:
Anaglyph is able to create a 2D visual into 3D, which makes it interesting and fun, yet a simple process of creating 3D without going through the hassle of 3D modeling software.

Aim & Objective:
To let user experience an anaglyph game where they can have an illusion of playing in a 3D environment.

Ideation & Concept:
User will be asked to wear the anaglyph 3D glasses to view the game in 3D. The anaglyph 3D game will be projected on screen where user can control the game through joystick and microphone. Sound effect will be added to enhance the effect.

Motivation:
I was very interested in 3D movies shown in the cinema and was curious how the 3D visual was created with the help of the special specs. I made some research and found out that it requires a high budget to create a polarized 3D. Eventually, I decided to create a game of anaglyph 3D which is inexpensive and easy to produce, yet it also creates an illusion of 3D.

Review, analysis & precedence studies:
