3D Remix Project
A few among the world’s most known paintings are being remixed in 3D.
​
You get to discover these masterpieces with a fresh eye: surf between Hokusai’s waves or meditate under Van Gogh’s starry night...
The technique used is the anaglyph 3D : low tech and playful. Without the filtered glasses you see a vibrant picture with ghostly red and blue touches.
As soon as you put on the filtered glasses, the whole scene emerges in grey scale. Waves appears in front the picture, splashes are in levitation and the Mt Fuji seems far behind the wall.
It is a wonderful experience that can be shared with everyone.
The Process
It relies on a the stereoscopic effect : The picture is actually the addition of two pictures representing the scene from the two supposed different point of views of the eyes. The filtered glasses make each eye see one point of view. As in front of the real scene, the brain’s viewer processes two pictures to create a 3D vision of the environment.
​
f(3D depth)=2D shift
There is a direct mathematical function linking the virtual distance of an object from the viewer (3D depth) and the 2D projected shift on the picture.
