Systems and methods for creating an eternalism, an appearance of sustained three dimensional motion-direction of unlimited duration, using a finite number of images
Data comprising a compressed image frame and temporal redundancy information is received. The image frame is decompressed. A plurality of bridge frames that are visually dissimilar to the image frame are generated. The image frame and the plurality of bridge frames are blended, generating a plurality of blended frames, and the plurality of blended frames are displayed.
1. A method of displaying one or more frames of a video, the method comprising:
receiving data comprising a compressed image frame and temporal redundancy information;
decompressing the image frame;
generating a plurality of bridge frames that are visually dissimilar to the image frame, wherein the plurality of bridge frames includes:
a first bridge frame having a first width, the first bridge frame comprising a first white rectangle in an upper portion of the first bridge frame, the first white rectangle having the first width, and a first dark rectangle in a lower portion of the first bridge frame, the first dark rectangle having the first width; and
a second bridge frame having a second width, the second bridge frame comprising a second white rectangle in a lower portion of the second bridge frame, the second white rectangle having the second width, and a second dark rectangle in an upper portion of the second bridge frame, the second dark rectangle having the second width;
blending the image frame and the plurality of bridge frames, generating a plurality of blended frames, wherein the plurality of blended frames include:
a first blended frame that includes the first dark rectangle in a lower portion of the first blended frame and a first portion of the image frame in an upper portion of the first blended frame; and
a second blended frame that includes the second dark rectangle in an upper portion of the second blended frame and a second portion of the image frame different from the first portion in a lower portion of the second blended frame; and
displaying the plurality of blended frames consecutively within a video.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
decompressing the image frame based on the temporal redundancy information.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data comprises a compressed video file associated with a compression format that uses temporal redundancy to achieve compression of video data.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each bridge frame comprises a timed unlit-screen pause.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the plurality of blended frames in accordance with a predetermined pattern.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying the blended frames in accordance with a predetermined pattern that includes a first pattern comprising the plurality of blended frames, and a second pattern that comprises repetition of the first pattern.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bridge frames comprise a first bridge frame having a first pattern and a second bridge frame having a second pattern that is complementary to the first pattern.
8. An apparatus comprising:
a storage configured to:
store a compressed image frame and temporal redundancy information; and
a processor configured to:
receive the compressed image frame and the temporal redundancy information;
decompress the image frame;
generate a plurality of bridge frames that are visually dissimilar to the image frame, wherein the plurality of bridge frames includes:
a first bridge frame having a first width, the first bridge frame comprising a first white rectangle in an upper portion of the first bridge frame, the first white rectangle having the first width, and a first dark rectangle in a lower portion of the first bridge frame, the first dark rectangle having the first width; and
a second bridge frame having a second width, the second bridge frame comprising a second white rectangle in a lower portion of the second bridge frame, the second white rectangle having the second width, and a second dark rectangle in an upper portion of the second bridge frame, the second dark rectangle having the second width;
blend the image frame and the plurality of bridge frames, generating a plurality of blended frames, wherein the plurality of blended frames include:
a first blended frame that includes the first dark rectangle in a lower portion of the first blended frame and a first portion of the image frame in an upper portion of the first blended frame; and
a second blended frame that includes the second dark rectangle in an upper portion of the second blended frame and a second portion of the image frame different from the first portion in a lower portion of the second blended frame; and
display the plurality of blended frames consecutively within a video.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
decompress the image frame based on the temporal redundancy information.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the data comprises a compressed video file associated with a compression format that uses temporal redundancy to achieve compression of video data.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein each bridge frame comprises a timed unlit-screen pause.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display the plurality of blended frames in accordance with a predetermined pattern.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
display the blended frames in accordance with a predetermined pattern that includes a first pattern comprising the plurality of blended frames, and a second pattern that comprises repetition of the first pattern.
14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of bridge frames comprise a first bridge frame having a first pattern and a second bridge frame having a second pattern that is complementary to the first pattern.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the image frame is associated with a first video, the method further comprising:
displaying the plurality of blended frames derived from the image frame in a second video.
