Abstract

Images are created by the combination of a plurality of other images. Images created in this manner may be used to enhance cinema and advertising. In another aspect of the invention shapes are created through the manipulation of contours or silhouettes. This process of shape manipulation can form the basis of a “falling block” computer game in which the focus is on the shape of the object formed between the blocks.

Description

IMAGE CREATION
A. Stegspace Reality102005 is so named by Dr. Michael Kefaloukos and Mr, Robert Balas when referring to a concept which describes the phenomenon produced through, or resulting from a
• collaborative process derived from interfacial contributions.
B. A body Of work has been completed, titled "A Shift of Focus - The Power Within a Stegspace Reality" ® Copyright 2005, describing in detail the evolution of the theory and philosophy based on interfacial contribution. This process ultimately results in the appearance or formation of a tangible, concrete entity termed the STEGOBJECTf? by the co-authors. C. Thus, from the intangibility of Stegspace Reality0 conceptualisation, tangible and concrete entities are produced. The co-authors are therefore interested in securing an international patent, protecting both Stegspace Reality* and Stegobject® as concepts and associated entities. The entities being: 1. Computer Game Imagery This game program is based on imagery derived from interfacial contributions emanating from a Stegspace Reality®, For clarification it is important to refer to the accompanying three pages of diagrams (pages 4,5 and 6), which depict the manipulation of the intertacial contours of descending electronic fragments in order to arrive at the construction of a desired shape formed within a space. This method differs widely from existing computer games, which presently rely on interlocking electronic fragments to form "walls". In a Stegspace Reality® based game, the player focuses on harnessing the space between fragments, not their solidity. Thereby, it is envisaged that a player of this type of game would be encouraged to look around the material object rather than only at it. This process could assist in the evolution of the player's lateral thinking 2. Stegspace Reality*5 Imagery as Cinematic Enhancement Usage of such imagery as depicted in the accompanying diagram labelled "Potential for Cinematic Imagery " (Page 7) clearly creates a visual vehicle capable of delivering complex meaning. In the example provided, the head of Leonardo Da Vinci appears in the spaces created from contributions of landscape interfaces collaborating with those of animal and bird in flight. It is envisaged that such manipulation of interfacial contribution would advance the enjoyment of the 3D cinematic experience. Furthermore, the process of producing Stegspace Reality* imagery is envisaged as potentially contributory to the innovation necessary for the development of the Advertisement industry. As co-authors at the time of this writing, we have already entered into agreement with a third party for the production of a series of lectures based on Stegspace Reality0' principles, Also, arrangements are underway for the publication of our book in the very near future. The urgency of this situation prompts us to seek an approval for international patent protection of Stegspace Reality' concepts and entities as soon as possible.

Claims

THE CLAIMS DEFINING THE INVENTION ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. A process allowing empty spaces to produce image formation via the harmonic concurrence of appropriate interfacial contribution. Each interface subject to the impact of an effect termed by the co-authors as transparentialisation, results in a collaborative relationship being made possible between interfaces.
2. As a result of this collaborative relationship of interfaces, an image appears in a space termed by the co-authors as Stegspace as seen in drawings previously provided. (Please refer to drawing of the specific image of Leonardo Da Vinci) 3. The image produced in Stegspace is considered novel in that it is formed from contributions of interfaces based on movement 4. Images produced from movement-based interfacial contribution would be harnessed as specific cinematic imagery. This innovation would represent a considerable enhancement of cinematic visual impact in terms of dramatic quality. 5. The usage of Stegspace Reality would constitute a significant improvement in the presentation of the advertising industry. 6. It is claimed that movement-oriented interfaces can produce tangible objects, so named Stegobjects by the co-authors. The specific Stegobject hereby claimed is computer game imagery harnessing the spaces between images, a process more innovative in comparison with that presently employed, i.e. only the image object is used, as in 'Tetris* in which walls are constructed. (Please refer to computer game samples in drawings previously provided in the International Patent Application).
