3D Stereo Portraits


A 3D Stereo Portrait is a fun and innovative product that can be created 
thanks to any of InSpeck’s 3D cameras and its newest EM software plugin. 
A 3D Stereo Portrait consists of a 3D picture dropped on top of a regular 
2D image and placed in a special lenticular frame. You may have seen 
lenticular technology used in advertising for display and promotional 
purposes. These images/posters seem to move when you tilt them or walk 
past them. This effect has been traditionally used in expensive ad 
campaigns but now, InSpeck can help you bring your own creations to life.

 3DSP Information Sheet






If you already own an InSpeck camera, you can get to producing and 
selling 3D Stereo Portraits really quickly because the investment is 
very small. Crystal Engraving business operators should view 3D 
Stereo Portraits as an excellent source of additional revenue. 
Here is the application’s simple workflow:



1- Take a picture of someone with the 3D camera and process

   the image into a 3D model.



2- Choose any 2D photo/image as a background.



3- Process the 3D model and background photo/image with 
   InSpeck’s new plugin.



4- Print the result with any compatible photo printer.



5- Slide the photo into a special lenticular frame.
 




1- TAKING A PICTURE WITH THE 3D CAMERA

This is the key differentiation between traditional lenticular 
usage and what InSpeck has to offer. First, taking someone’s 
3D picture customizes the product. It can be a souvenir or 
something done for fun, but in the end, it’s all about the person 
in the portrait. This gives 3D Stereo Portraits great commercial 
appeal.



Secondly, this is the first time 3D cameras are used with lenticular 
technology. The effect of simulated depth that the lenticular frame 
has on our 3D models is so convincing that it seems that you can reach 
into the picture and touch the person. Your customers will love it.



2- CHOOSE ANY 2D BACKGROUND

Do you want the Eiffel Tower or the Satue of Liberty in the background? 
How about an underwater or martian scene for the kids? You can drop the 
3D picture you took in front of any 2D background. Let your imagination 
run free!



3- PROCESSING

This is where InSpeck’s new EM plugin comes into play. Use it to process 
both the 3D picture and the 2D background. The plugin will generate an 
auto-stereoscopic image by sampling the 3D scene from multiple views. 
Our processing tool also allows you to:



a) Position the 3D model with respect to the background,



b) Place the reference plane at the position that best suits the effect 
   you want to achieve,



c) Setup the image properties for printing, such as image size and 
   resolution, and sharpness of the 3D render,


 
d) Preview and then export the result.



4- PRINTING

You will need a standard off-the-shelf photo printer to get the right 
result. We have established the parameters for some supported printer 
models (contact InSpeck for a list).



5- LENTICULAR

A lenticular frame is a low cost item (usually a few dollars per unit) 
that comes in various colors and designs depending on your supplier. 
Once the photo is printed, slide it in a lenticular frame and see the 
amazing results. Your printed photo is now a 3D Stereo Portrait! Contact 
InSpeck to get in touch with lenticular frame suppliers.
