Faster state transitioning for continuous adjustable 3deeps filter spectacles using multi-layered variable tint materials

Abstract

Significantly faster state transitioning time between the optimal optical density for viewing 2D Movies as 3D movies through Continuous Adjustable 3Deeps Filter Spectacles can be achieved by using multiple layers (multi-layer) of electronically controlled variable tint materials to fabricate the right and left lenses of the 3Deeps spectacles. The use of multi-layered lenses may result in as much as a 50% decrease in transition time between states. The invention also relates to Multi-Use Electronically Controlled Continuous Adjustable 3Deeps Filter Spectacles that house within a single spectacle frame several layers of optoelectronic material in which each layer of electronically controlled relates to a different method of viewing.

1 . A method for controlling the Pulfrich Filter Spectacles for viewing a 2D digital video in MPEG format with 3D effects, comprising:
 extracting a motion estimation value associated with a frame in said video;   determining a luminance value for the frame based on said motion estimation value;   calculating an optical density value corresponding to said luminance value and motion estimation value for a lens;   transmitting said optical density values to the Pulfrich Filter Spectacles;   
       and
 computing an electric value based on the transmitted optical density values that is used to control the Pulfrich Filter Spectacles.
