A shadow
projection system for creating three dimensional shadowing effects in a
home environment having a
projector with an
enclosure for damping reflected light, the
projector including a two point pinpoint
light source that are less than 0.5 inches in height and less than 0.25 inches in width and have bulbs and non-reflective components so that the
light source provides a uniform light projection without perceivable distortions and projects light in a generally single, parallel direction with minimal amounts of reflected light with each
light source having corresponding light filters, a translucent screen, a pair of filtered viewing lenses corresponding to the corresponding light filters of the two
point light source, such that a viewer looking through the pair of filtered viewing lenses perceives a three dimensional
perception shadow caused by two shadows created on the translucent screen of an object placed between the two
point light source and the translucent screen. A method of creating a three dimensional shadow in a
home environment including: Providing a shadow
projection system; placing and moving an object between the translucent screen and the
projector; projecting a pair of shadows of the object with the projector on the projection side of the translucent screen; creating a pair of shadows of the object on the viewing side of the screen; and causing a viewer looking through the pair of filtered viewing lenses to perceive a moving three dimensional
perception shadow caused by two shadows created on the viewing side of the translucent screen of an object placed between the two
point light source and the translucent screen.
