Abstract

We describe our preliminary experiments in hybrid moving images. A hybrid image is generated by synthesizing two different still images into one in such a way that the interpretation can change depending on the viewing distance of either of these two images. However, existing works on hybrid images only apply this technique to still images, and the application to moving images is still largely unexplored. Thus, investigating hybrid moving images has the potential to contribute to both research and artistic practices. We have developed software to create video clips of hybrid images and have performed a preliminary investigation into hybrid moving images. The results suggest that hybrid moving images still retain the characteristics of hybrid images, but the synthesis of a moving image and a still image may likely extend the range over which the synthesized moving image can still be perceived. On the other hand, the synthesis of two moving images seems to narrow the possible viewing distances for both synthesized images. Faster movement may also improve visibility.
