Adjustable focus eyeglasses are eyeglasses with an adjustable focal length. They compensate for refractive errors (such as presbyopia) by providing variable focusing, allowing users to adjust them for desired distance or prescription, or both. Current bifocals and progressive lenses are static, in that the user has to change their eye position ...
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Photoshop CS5 can correct complex distortion. PTlens is a Photoshop plugin or standalone application which corrects complex distortion. It not only corrects for linear distortion, but also second degree and higher nonlinear components. [10] Lensfun is a free to use database and library for correcting lens distortion.
Camera lucida. A camera lucida is an optical device used as a drawing aid by artists and microscopists . The camera lucida projects an optical superimposition of the subject being viewed, onto the surface upon which the artist is drawing. The artist sees both scene and drawing surface simultaneously, as in a photographic double exposure.
Prism (optics) A familiar dispersive prism. An optical prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that are designed to refract light. At least one surface must be angled — elements with two parallel surfaces are not prisms. The most familiar type of optical prism is the triangular prism, which has a triangular base ...
e Lens of the observer's eye. f Right-angled prism. g Image-erecting prism. A periscope is an instrument for observation over, around or through an object, obstacle or condition that prevents direct line-of-sight observation from an observer's current position. [ 1][ 2]
A polarized 3D system uses polarization glasses to create the illusion of three-dimensional images by restricting the light that reaches each eye (an example of stereoscopy ). To present stereoscopic images and films, two images are projected superimposed onto the same screen or display through different polarizing filters.
Lenticular printing is a technology in which lenticular lenses (a technology also used for 3D displays) are used to produce printed images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as they are viewed from different angles. Examples include flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern advertising graphics whose ...
A lenticular lens is an array of lenses, designed so that when viewed from slightly different angles, different parts of the image underneath are shown. [ 1][ 2][failed verification – see discussion] The most common example is the lenses used in lenticular printing, where the technology is used to give an illusion of depth, or to make images ...
