An improved advertising system can include a location having a substantially large expanse of living greenery, a predetermined design for an advertisement, and a chlorophyll-based agent. The location can be observable by viewers at a predefined minimum viewing distance. The chlorophyll-based agent can be used to paint the predetermined design on the living greenery. The chlorophyll-based agent can be non-detrimental to the health of the living greenery. The predetermined design painted on the living greenery with the chlorophyll-based agent can be only viewable by viewers at the predefined minimum viewing distance. Living greenery treated with the chlorophyll-based agent can be visibly distinguishable from and shinier than neighboring untreated living greenery. When a viewer is nearer than the minimum predefined viewing distance, a difference in shine and color between the treated living greenery and the untreated living greenery can be substantially unnoticeable.

An animated 3D image multiplying light assembly includes a light source having a plurality of light-emitting diodes. A mask is disposed at a predetermined distance from the light source, and a plurality of holes are adapted to allow light to pass through the mask. The mask includes more holes than the number of light-emitting diodes. A first lenticular sheet is adjacent a second lenticular sheet for projecting light from the light source having passed through the mask. The first lenticular sheet is aligned perpendicular with the second lenticular sheet for homogenizing light in a first direction and a second direction, perpendicular to the first direction. An outer lens is positioned such that light projected from the first lenticular sheet and the second lenticular sheet appears as though positioned at different depths with respect to the outer lens, providing a 3D appearance. When viewed dynamically, the light projected appears to move.

A method of continuously drawing a series of alpha-numerical characters, an image, or a design or scene on a surface with a drawing instrument in which no line intersects any other line and no portion of characters is retraced. Images and designs can also be incorporated with continuous alpha-numerical characters. Also disclosed is a method of drawing an image on a surface that simulates a three-dimensional object or scene. Products can be created using any of the above-described techniques. Such products can include, but not be limited to greeting cards, postcards, apparel, coffee mugs, toys, games, puzzles, and the like. The surface on which the image is drawn can be made of material suitable for three-dimensional reliefs, so that visually impaired individuals can appreciate the work.

Techniques for controlling optical behavior of a multi-view display apparatus comprising a first layer comprising first optical elements and a second layer comprising second optical elements. The techniques include obtaining a plurality of scene views; obtaining information specifying a model of the multi-view display apparatus; obtaining information specifying at least one blurring transformation; and generating actuation signals for controlling the multi-view display apparatus to concurrently display a plurality of display views corresponding to the plurality of scene views, the actuation signals comprising first actuation signals for controlling the first optical elements and second actuation signals for controlling the second optical elements, the generating comprising: generating the first actuation signals and the second actuation signals based, at least in part, on the plurality of scene views, the information specifying the model of the multi-view display apparatus, and the information specifying the at least one blurring transformation.

A tri-face artwork display device that allows for three different views within the same frame. One embodiment includes upper and lower rows of corresponding slits on the top and bottom of the frame. The slits have a predetermined depth so as to not penetrate through the other side of the frame. The slits hold the image panels that display the second and third image to compliment the first image. The image panel has a second image on its first face and a third image on its second face. The present invention includes a second embodiment that is used to retrofit an existing standard frame. The fillet assembly uses a plurality of receiving cavities defined by two side walls to hold image panels. The fillet may also have a locking flange, which extends perpendicular from the fillet and fits underneath the matting of a frame to securely hold the fillet in place.

A method of fabricating a dcor for use in a thermopressed panel, the method including applying a first coating onto a substrate, placing an element having a structured surface onto the first coating, curing the first coating to form an intermediate product having a surface texture, removing the element, applying a second coating, and curing the second coating to embed the obtained surface texture. A panel produced according to the method can have a flat outer surface and internal texture showing a visual 3D effect.

A method of digital continuous and simultaneous three-dimensional painting, drawing and three-dimensional object navigating with steps of providing a digital electronic display capable of presenting two pictures for a right eye and a left eye; providing means for creating a continuous 3D virtual canvas by digitally changing a value and sign of horizontal disparity between two images for the right eye and the left eye and their scaling on the digital electronic display corresponding to instant virtual distance between the user and an instant image within the virtual 3D canvas; providing at least one multi-axis input control device allowing digital painting or object navigating within virtual 3D canvas by providing simultaneous appearance of a similar objects on the images for the right eye and the left eye on the digital electronic display.
