In recent years, due to the gradual popularization of AI technology in "Generative" image production, the once time-consuming and labor-intensive creative image production can now be created in the shortest time possible. Among them, the creation of Depth Maps required for "Multi-View 3D Images" can now be automatically generated by AI and neural networks, undoubtedly providing a great boost to those who aspire to learn 3D. Once the bottleneck of producing "Multi-View 3D Images" is solved, the next step is how to display them. Obviously, this is to be done using "Glasses-Free 3D Display" . Now, we will use 3D lenticular sheets to create our own "Glasses-Free 3D Display".

3D lenticular sheets can be easily and inexpensively purchased online, but these types of sheets are mostly used for printing 3D lenticular images and are rarely used for OLED and LCD panels. The main reason is the lack of software supporting OLED Diamond Pentile and RGB sub-pixel interweaving. However, conventional "Glasses-Free 3D Displays" are customized for the size of LCD panels, with their own exclusive interlacing patterns and 3D playback platforms. Therefore, the cost is higher, and technical assistance from manufacturers is required, making it inaccessible to the general public.

In light of this, i-Art 3D has developed the i-Magic3D software, which supports any LPI (lines per inch) 3D lenticular sheets on the market, for use with any size and any resolution of OLED and LCD panels. Without the need for special skills, anyone can quickly and inexpensively construct their own "Glasses-Free 3D Display". Furthermore, it can render and produce MP4 videos from the Depth Map image sequence converted by AI, which can be directly played and displayed on OLED and LCD display panels, smart phones (such as iPhone, Android,...) , without the need for dedicated 3D software.

Step 1

• Prepare 3D lenticular lens:
  • 20LPI ~ 50LPI (25LPI with 4mm of thickness available in markets is highly recommended for 15.6" ~ 24" display.)
  • Thickness > 1mm; The thicker 3D lens, the better 3D depth is.
  • Hologram Effect: 25LPI ~ 40LPI、OLED/LCD panel of larger than 300 PPI, or 20LPI ~ 25LPI, 15.6" (or smaller) OLED/LCD panel with 3840x2160 resolution
    
    
• According to OLED/LCD display size, cut out the 3D lens at slanted angle of 15 degrees as follows.
  

Step 2

• Choose OLED/LCD Panels (Any Size, Any Resolution):
  • OLED/LCD Monitor
  • Laptop PC
  • Tablet PC
  • Smart Phone
  • Others

 Step 3

  Choose an appropriate RGB arrangement:

• OLED Diamond Pentile
  • Most of the display panels of high-end mobile phones, iPhones (iPhone X and above) and high-end laptops on the market currently use Diamond Pentile format or similar arrangement formats.
    

• LCD RGB Sub-Pixel
  • The RGB sub-pixel arrangement of most LCD screens currently on the market for laptops, monitors, and mobile phones adopts the standard RGB (Red, Green, Blue) horizontal (or vertical) arrangement.
    
    
  • Depending on your needs, you can choose a horizontal RGB arrangement for landscape or a vertical RGB arrangement for portrait; on contrary, generally mobile phones use a horizontal RGB arrangement for portrait, vertical RGB arrangement for landscape.

 Step 4

• Later on, you can directly interweave (or interlace) the multi-view images into a synthesized 3D image to preview 3D effects by help of i-Magic3D" (Trial Version: Link1  Link2  Link3).
  
  
• With i-Magic3D's "Interlacing", you just need to ...
  1. Add in multi-view images.
  2. Fill in the "Display Size". It must be very precise. Please refer to its technical spec.
  3. Choose the "Display Resolution". This is the native resolution of OLED/LCD panel.
  4. Choose the "RGB Arrangement". Mostly, it would be "Horizontal RGB".
  5. Fill in the "Lens Pitch" of 3D lenticular lens. You may use the "Pitch Test" as below to verify it.
      Note: If necessary, you can also adjust "Lens Slanted Angle" below to meet the 3D lenticular lens.
  6. Choose the "Preview Size".
  7. View the synthesized 3D image on the OLED/LCD panel with the 3D lens you just prepared.
  
  

 Step 5

• Put on 3D lenticular lens
  
  
  • Lens Faced-Up:
    Most of case, put the lens side of the 3D lenticular lens up and attach it closely on the OLED/LCD panel. If it is just for testing purposes, you can temporarily use stationery clips to clamp the four corners of the 3D lenticular lens for use.
    
    Notice:
    Before installing the 3D lenticular lens, please make sure that there is no Anti-Reflective film, protective film, etc. on the OLED/LCD panel to avoid causing the 3D lenticular lens to lose focus.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  • Lens Faced-Down with Air Gap:
    In case that you can't get a clear 3D image with "Lens Faced-Up", just turn over the 3D lens, it can be changed to the "Lens Faced-Down" with an "Air Gap"(a gap needs to be raised).
    
    Such a "Gap" MUST be little less than the thickness of 3D lenticular lens. It might need to be adjusted until it can get the best focus on your OLED/LCD panel.
    
    
    
    
    
  • Then, check "Lens Faced-Down" (with Air Gap)" as follows.
    
    
    
    
    

Finally, let's take a look at the result ...

3D Lenticular lens is not only for 3D image printing but also can be used on OLED/LCD panel for "Glasses-Free 3D Display". As long as there are RGB sub-pixel and pixel based mapping, then anyone can easily interweave multi-view images into a synthesized 3D image to show it on any OLED/LCD panel. So, what you need is a solution to interweave your creative multi-view images in a 3D image format which can be shown on any OLED/LCD panel with any normal 3D lenticular lens.

i-Magic3D is an integrated solution for 3D lenticular image application for both "Glasses-Free 3D Display" and "lenticular image printing". Essentially, it includes the following major functions:

• Pitch Check:
  Based on the lens pitch, finds out the interweaving pitch for the color printer to be used.
  
  
• Interlacing:
  Interweaves the multi-view images into different synthesized 3D images for "Glasses-Free 3D Display" and "lenticular 3D image printing" independently.
  
  
• DIBR (Depth Image Based Rendering):
  • Can render the Depth Map into multi-view images of more than 100 views for Hologram-like display.
  • Supports batch processing of image sequences for creating MP4 videos.
  • Supports CUDA high-speed "Depth Image Based Rendering" and interlaced multi-view images.
    
    
• Create MP4:

  • Solves the problem of reduced 3D resolution caused by "Multi-Tile" playback display.
  • Solves the computing power problem of "2D+Depth" video real-time rendering and interlacing.
    

Interlacing:

Here, it can independently interweave the multi-view images into different synthesized 3D images for "Glasses-Free 3D Display" and "lenticular image printing". Before 3D image printing, you can preview the 3D effect on OLED/LCD panel to secure the 3D quality. Furthermore, you can also save the 3D images according to different OLED/LCD platforms of any display sizes and any display resolutions. Once you have these 3D images, you can use them for 3D signage, 3D visual art show, 3D slideshow with PowerPoint, or other players.

Notice:
1. Before "3D Display", please be sure to use "Pitch Test" to find out the most accurate lens pitch in advance. Note: The Lens Pitch (for Display) value and the "Interlacing Pitch" value for printing may be different for the same type of 3D lenticular lens.

2. If you'd like to use PowerPoint to play 3D images for slideshow, then the 3D images must be kept as full screen size to prevent them from being scaled by PowerPoint. That means the 3D images must be saved with "Display Resolution".
