I’ve watched this about 20 times …. still as amazed the 20th time as I was the first. Would love to see this in person …. maybe then I might understand better?

I’m seeing a lot of what look like “cuts” in the video. Just saying. And that kind of thing is generally only possible in 3 dimensions, where the image is created on multiple sides of a pyramid or other multi-sided projection from the paper/backing so that a different “image” is seen from the various angles. Maybe its just you getting older as you watch it. LOL
Probably folds in an agamograph.
Spoiler! You are always ahead of the pack B_MC – well done.
Yep, exactly what I was talking about.
That’s obviously a hologram. You cannot paint such.
Saw a hologram once, decades ago, displaying a microscope. If you move around the hologram, you’d see the microscope from different sides. But only by watching others did I learn what the real trick was: if you move to the right spot you’d be able to look through the eyepiece and see what was on the microscope slide. Now that was freaking amazing.
I remember being at an exhibition in the early 90s and saw a VR of Galileo I think it was – you could go up a chat to it – very weird.
Was doing university research in the ’70s using lasers in various ways. One guy was looking into laser generated holograms-never understood the theory other than it had something to do with the spectral purity of laser light.
This is doable. No, not be me.
This technology was used for the shittiest prize in a box of cracker jacks when I was kid.
Yes … it was used in children’s toys — especially in CJ boxes.
Any idea what the name for that type of object is?
That’s talent Stucky – well found. They can do it with AI now, but do I really want to see what my better half will look like in the days to come? Better we don’t know eh? But NCIS has a great example to identify a suspect – this is one of my favourite TVs – there aren’t many these days, one of the few we watch together and love Abby and the gang.
I remember when growing up in the ’50s having objects that had a plastic lens on them that would shift the image — colors and such — as you moved the object in a direction perpendicular to the vertical ‘slices’ that made up the lens.
I don’t think it’s a fresnel lens — like those in lighthouses that enable focusing the beam …
In the image here, you can see the vertical elements of the lens … so it’s not a painting technique at all — it’s a lens technique.
Help, anyone?
Lenticular Printing
Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles.¹ This technology is also used for 3D displays.
They often would be on business card sized flexible plastic sheets having a rough surface over some kind of picture underneath.
It is a Dorian Gray painting. Can only be done by making a bargain with the devil. 🙂
