United States Patent Application #61103930 October 9, 2008 Method for displaying information through pixel-based anamorphic illusion Abstract A method for using pixel-based, spatially generated anamorphosis to create a three dimensional display. A predetermined number of volumes are suspended in a seemingly random fashion. When viewed from a specific vantage point or angle, these volumes appear to be assembled in an ordered grid or other patterned shape. Once appearing to be in an ordered shape, the volumes act much like pixels of a standard 2D display by conveying information. Inventor: Hahn; Brian K. (Los Angeles, CA) Claims I claim: 1. An apparatus for displaying information comprised of an arrangement of a predetermined number of volumes arranged in a seemingly random fashion that, when viewed from one particular vantage point or angle, appear to be in an ordered shape resembling recognizable forms not identifiable from any other vantage point or angle. 2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the volumes are translucent and illuminated from within to change the appearance of the recognizable forms. 3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the volumes are opaque and colored differently. 4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the volumes are suspended by electrical wires. 5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the volumes are suspended in a transparent solid. 6. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the size of the volumes are dependent on their distance from the vantage point. 7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the volumes are moveable as to shift the vantage point for legible viewing. 8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein two or more simultaneous vantage points exist for legible viewing. 9. A method of encoding and displaying information, comprising: (a) creating a projection grid or shape based on a particular viewpoint or angle in a space by extending lines out from that viewpoint to every intersection point of a virtual grid or shape. (b) translating two dimensional raster or dot-matrix based information into three dimensions by placing each pixel element randomly along each line on said grid or shape. (c) suspending or supporting a predetermined number of volumes within a space coinciding with the pixel placement. (d) illuminating, emphasizing, or colorizing said volumes to present original information. When viewed from a predetermined vantage point, the entire group of volumes produce recognizable images, text, animation, video or other form of information which may or may not contain elements of motion. Any other view of the array of volumes other than correct vantage point will appear completely random and all information undecipherable. Specifications 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates generally to information display techniques, optical illusions and, more particularly, to a method for encoding and presenting anamorphically encoded information. 2. Description of the Related Art From our Earth-bound perspective, we have long gazed to the heavens and attributed imagery to random arrangements of stars. Curiously, the only reason the Orion constellation looks like a hunter is due to our unique vantage point of those stars. These spheres of light arranged randomly millions of miles in every direction are physically in three dimensions. It is our interpretation of them which creates a two dimensional mental picture. Standing on another planet in another solar system light years away, one might look at the very same stars and see them arranged as the number 42. This phenomenon is known as “asterism” in astronomical terms and shares similarities with another concept that originated in the world of fine art. Anamorphosis is a distorted projection or perspective; especially an image distorted in such a way that it becomes visible only when viewed in a special manner. Used mostly as a novelty, the purpose of the anamorphosis is to trick the eye and delight the viewer. Oblique anamorphoses hide images so that they can only be correctly viewed from a particular perspective. These two concepts are combined in the present invention. Essentially, a seemingly random arrangement of objects can be transformed into an eye-catching installation that is either pleasing star field or, when viewed from a particular position, an informative display. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Our modern experiences inundate us with so much information that we have learned to filter out the familiar. Television screens, billboards and signs are easily ignored. This invention seeks to provide a new and novel form of presenting information in an aesthetically pleasing way. This result is achieved by first determining a specific vantage point in relation to an architectural space. A projection grid is created by extending lines out from that viewpoint to every intersection of a virtual grid. The grid determines the resolution of the display as the number of vertical lines in the grid equals the number of pixel rows and the number of horizontal lines equals the number of pixel columns. The size and placement of the grid determines the perceived size and perspective of the display. Two dimensional raster or dot-matrix based information is translated into three dimensions by placing each pixel element randomly along each line on said grid. Each pixel corresponds to a particular line; the top left pixel is mated to the line connected to the top left intersection on the grid. The pixels are comprised of volumes suspended or supported within the space and are illuminated, emphasized, or colorized to present original information. When viewed from a predetermined vantage point, the entire group of volumes produce recognizable images, text, animation, video or other form of information. Any other view of the array of volumes other than correct vantage point will appear completely random and all information undecipherable. The viewer must move around the installation in order to connect the dots and reconstruct the imagery being presented. There are many advantages to this invention over established forms of information display. First and foremost, information is only presented to viewers in a very specific relationship to the installation. This unique characteristic can be exploited to emphasize the different purposes of different architectural spaces. For instance, installed as a large group of hanging, lighted globes in a convention center, the invention could offer informative display to visitors in a main entrance. Once these visitors have passed through the area where this information is needed, their perspective of said globes physically changes. The installation then takes on another function by providing overhead lighting for a large space beyond such entrance. Information is only given to specific areas where it is needed and then becomes a utilitarian and pleasing star field of glowing lights Another advantage is the dual purpose nature of the invention. In the form of a lighted chandelier hanging above a dining table, the invention would consist of a number of hanging globes that provide illumination for said dining area. However, the view of the invention from an adjoining area, a study for instance, the globes would appear in an ordered grid where the illuminated globes display the current time in dot matrix form. As apposed to traditional displays, the aesthetic nature of the invention invites the eye to look upon it. It calls attention to itself in a new and different way, thereby ensuring pertinent information reaches a wider audience. It fulfills multiple functions and can provide location specific information. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a view from a random angle of the concept in a dot-matrix clock form. Fig. 2 is the same arrangement of spheres as Fig. 1, only the point of view is shifted to the focal point of the installation. Fig. 3 is a view from a random angle of the concept as a larger, full color, full animation advertisement. Fig. 4 is a is the same arrangement of spheres as Fig. 3, only the point of view is shifted to the focal point of the installation. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The preferred embodiment of the invention, utilizes an array of spherical, translucent globes hanging from electrical wires. The arrangement of the globes appears to be completely haphazard from all around the installation. Said globes contain RGB LED lights controlled remotely via computer to vary the intensity and color of lit globes. Walking around the installation, a viewer will see each globe illuminated in different colors and intensities. However, standing in the precise vantage point, a viewer will see the globes arranged in a precise grid. The effect from this view will be one of looking at a full color, full animation, pixel based raster 2D display. If the viewer moves away from this point, the grid breaks up and becomes a random cloud of colored glowing spheres. This description is of one possible embodiment of the invention. However, many variations are possible based on the previously mentioned claims. The invention can be on a large or small scale depending on the installation. It can cover a wide variety of styles of display, from monochromatic dot-matrix display to full color high definition display. It can be a static, unchanging display; or the pixel elements can change or move to vary the information presented. The pixel volumes can be of any shape, color, size, or material. The method of suspending the volumes is also variable. The present invention should therefore not be seen as limited to the particular embodiment described herein, rather, it should be understood that the present invention has wide applicability with respect to informational displays and optical illusions. Such other configurations can be achieved by those skilled in the art in view of the descriptions herein. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims. Illustrations
