| AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 11th August 2023 (11 .08.2023) What is claimed is: LA device that creates 3D(Three dimensional) images from single 2D (Two dimensional) images or image sources such as from still and or moving 2D(Two dimensional) sources such as mobile phone screens, tab screens, flat or any 2D television screens, bill boards , projected 2D images , photographs. The single source images are not modified, altered or superimposed at the source. This device is specifically made of two flat or more flat attached material, the attachment onto its thin right side (for the one for the left eye, and onto the thin left side-for one for the right eye, and this attachment is more or less in line with the nasal bridge). The device is placed on the face in front of the eyes and. allows light or the image to pass through to the eyes. The two attached sides-one for each eye and placed directly in front of the eye for it. One of the sides allows more or all of the light from the image or the image itself to pass unmodified to that eye. It is the more transparent side. The adjacent side is composed of many small miniature to micro sized concave or convex lenses, attached to each other side by side forming a plane of lenses referred here in as a layer of lenses. The final size of the layer or plane of attached lenses forms the final size attached to the adjacent more transparent side in reasonable size as to allow it to function. Another or other layers or planes of AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) attached lenses is or are then laid above or below each other to form a number of layers minimum of two and maximum of which allows for the desired effect of creating 3D images from single unaltered and non- superimposed 2D images to be achieved. When placing the layers on top or below each other, the orientation of the lenses is maintained such that the convexity or concavity faces the same direction. The single choice whether concave or convex lenses are then used throughout, the side where they are used without mixing concave and convex lenses. The diameter (width) of each concave or convex lens is in the range of 3mm (three millimeters) to the smallest size that allows for the desired effect to be achieved. The size of these concave or convex small lenses can be uniform across the device or vary but bottom line is achievement if the desired effect. Their positions relative to the adjacent, lenses can also vary more or less to above or below the adjacent, lenses but still meeting the requirement of side attachment. Their attachments are not necessarily permanent and there can be some degree of movement up or down as long as they don’t fall out of place from the layer they are in. The heights (convexity or concavity) of each of the lenses are maintained to a reasonable value that allows it to fit the description of a concave or convex lens. It should be noted that the effect, is still achieved if flat transparent material is placed in between the layers of lenses or if the lenses are placed individually above or below transparent material. It should also be noted that. AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) the image creation, does not require manipulation of the eyes such as vergence or divergence. The eyes simply look through the two attached adjacent sides, each eye through each side, and 3D image is viewed from the 2D source. This device creates the 3D image by continually modifying the original single 2D image at its level(not at the source of the 2D) serially through the layers of the lenses and when the final image modified through the device is viewed in one eye simultaneously as the other unmodified image on the other eye, 3D image is perceived. It should be noted that a whole single image from the 2D source is directed to one eye and at the same time to the other eye and the position of the device in from of the eyes must be such that it allows for that. The position of the 2D image source must also be so that it allows for so. There lenses arrangement are not lenticular and no special angle viewing is required to reveal the image. Furthermore the lenses can be convex unlike conventional concave lenses used in lenticular arrays. Lenticular lens arrays do not operate when layered above or below each, other, this device operates so, by layered lenses above or below each other. The device has no moving parts, is non-electronic, Non- analy graph, non-hologram and the 2D image at source is single, non- altered, non- modified in any way, non- superimposed, non-stereoscopic, and not put in any way side by side. AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) The device is utilizable with different 21) image sources and is not fixed or paired to use from a single 2d source 2. The device of claim 1 where in the two sides facing each eye are any color, any shade similar or dissimilar or no color or shade at all. 3. The device of claim 1 further comprising of any means of strapping it to the face or head onto its position functionality and any materials used thereof 4. Any method of production involving creation of small or miniature concave or convex lenses and having them attached side by side more in a plane or layer of reasonable size as to achieve the desired function in claim 1 /then having these layers placed above or below each other, maintaining the orientation of the lenses, minimum of two layers and maximum layer number as to achieve the desired effect in claim l ,then having this attached to the more transparent also more flat side to form the two sides that will be placed in front of the eyes to achieve the effect in claim!. 5. Utilization of claim 1 in combination with display devices such as but not limited to projectors to transmit 2D images and have them converted to 3D images by the device in claim 1 thus creating virtual reality scenarios for example a lecturer in virtual reality to a lecture hall, happenings in the market house, virtual hospital visitations etc. AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) 6. Utilization of claim 1 as described in claim 5 in design processes for devices, objects and any design processes requiring close to real life image of what is being designed, allowing virtual reality viewing. 7.

TECHNICAL FIELD
This disclosure relates to the field of virtual reality and 3D image creation.
This disclosure relates to a facial wear device for creating virtual reality three dimensional 3D images from any two dimensional 2D images and method of its production ,
BACKGROUND
Virtual reality refers to three dimensional 3D image that appears to create a real life replica of an object that may be of same or varied size as the source object .Such images are captured commonly in two dimensions using cameras or any image capturing devise in real time, transmitted to the viewer Or stored for later viewing in available < image storage and play means. A display device is then used to relay the image to the eyes of an individual viewing the image in real time or past. Most of such images are in two dimensions 2D, Enhanced, more real life like image viewing has been possible by creation of three dimensional 3D images which apart from relay ing the image also relay perception of depth. Such include earliest holograms in which two light sources are merged in a device to create a three dimensional image of the source object. Moving or rotating light tubes have also been used to create three dimensional images.
Analygraph images have been created by using two different colored screens on different ey es allowing perception of depth thus three dimensional images.
Of more advanced are polarized facial wear glasses: or goggles which are of two different types-passive polarized in which there are no electronic components. Each screen directing a separate image to each eye and is polarized to allow one of the two or more images created by the two dimension display' device to pass through to either eye of the viewer. The two images are created by an enabled display device such as 3D Television, each image is picked by different eye combination in the brain which results in perception of depth and thus a three dimensional image/This calls for the glasses or goggles to be paired with that 3D display devise or only similarly enabled devices. Active three dimensional facial wear 3D glasses or goggles exist in which there are active shutters, activated differently for different eyes in coordination with or by signals from source display device displaying different timed images: for different eyes perception of which results in three dimensional images.
Of more recent are virtual reality VR headsets which use small display devices mostly phones in which the: screen is split by image splitting software and each is directed to a different eye perception of which results in three dimensional images.
Of all of these, only the analygraph, different co lored screen three dimensional facial wear device or goggles is utilizable across all display devices* without image modification or with specific use with specific display devices. It is limited in the quality of image and that the goggles screens have to be differently colored.
In the invention disclosed here in, any screen three dimensional image creator solves the limitations by being able to be used without color modification to screens directing the image to each eye. It is utilizable on any two dimension 2D display device and its: use is transmissible between different display devices for example same facial wear three dimensional image creator is utilizable on any phone screen, same utifizable on any tab , screen, same utilizable on any laptop screen same utilizable on any television screen, same utilizable on image displayed from any projector or still bill board. The display devices can be from different manufacturers.
It eliminates the use of electronic components such as for signal transmitters and receivers in active shutter 3D glasses or goggles and also eliminates display of more than one image for example from 3D television directed to a passive 3D glasses.
It eliminates the necessity of moving parts for example in rotating light tubes for creating 3D images as it has no moving parts.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a device which allows light or image to pass through on to the two eyes of a viewer, comprising two attached sides directed to each eye, one side allowing more light or more of the original less-modified image to enter that eye, and the other side allowing light or image to pass serially through plurality of miniature lens like structures, final image of which is a modified image of the original and perception of both the images through the two sides simultaneously results in perception of virtual reality three dimensional image.
In another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of fonning the three dimensional image creator by attachment of, or modification of light allowing through material to result in one side allowing more light or more of the original image and the other side allowing more light or image modification perception simultaneously of which results in perception of three dimensional image from any two dimensional image display device or source.
