There is almost always only one comfortable way to wield something. Say, you don't point a gun at yourself or hold it upside down. Not only that, but it will probably be in the shape of a rectangle to hide the entire body; not a square or a circle. As such, it will be almost always necessary to hold it vertically to feel stable.

@Michael kilby You made the claim that the Lubor's lens is "completely different" than a lenticular lens, that it "operates on more dimensions" and "bares no comparison". I've cited the original patent application, which describes a parallel lenticular lens array. Now, you say "it would be easy to rebuttal [sic] the citations" and yet, here we are... no citations, no links to drawings, or credible descriptions of just how the lubor's lens differs 'completely' from a lenticular lens. That is what I meant, when I said, "You're going to have to back that up".

It just seems like it's a massive horizontal blur, which tends to hide things because foreground elements like people tend to be vertical while landscape elements like hills and lakes tend to be horizontal.

I remember these from the late 90’s CD covers and promo posters. A photoshop app slices two images to give the illusion of motion or transition to something else when the lens is applied.

Great explanation! Thorough but concise.

Hi Ben. Newbie to your antics , just found you. . I have had several attempts at using the Ferrell lens with a led back light , by taking away the lcd screen (usually cracked making the tv useless) and using the left over parts to create what some people can’t understand as a 3D void affect , the sheets in using are regular tv sized. Also remove the leds from the tv as the voltage to run them are horrendous, and replace with 12v rgbw. They also make for an excellent daylight in dark corners of your home / hallway / staircase. And cheaper to run than a normal household bulb. Looking forward to more of your antics experiments funny thing 👍

I was once shown A great way to explain how these work. Lenticular lenses use a similar property as Fresnel lenses. A curved surface, glass or plastic, will bend light. Or more generally, light bends at the interface between to optical materials, Air and water, air and glass, air and plastic. This is how magnifying glasses, and camera lenses work. a typical camera lens is curved on one side and flat on the other. The bending occurs at the surface of the curve. any bulk between the flat part of the lens and the curved part is not necessary for the lensing effect. So if you slice a lens, in this case horizontally, into thin slices, you can remove all the material between the curved part and the flat part, then put them all the remaining parts back together. now you have a lens that has the same optical properties as the original bulky curved piece of glass/plastic, but in a nice, easy to manufacture, uniform width. This effect scales to very large, and very small, and also works with horizontal slices, vertical slices, circles (Fresnel), waves, random slices. This process can also be conducted on a prism, which could be thought of as a lens, only with flat surfaces. A prism bends light. Lenticular lenses can be thught of as the "flattening" of a prism in the same way a fresnel lens "flattens" a curved magnifying glass. This makes a lot of sense if you have a drawing of a magnifying lens from a side on view, act as an illustration.
