Cool Stuff: Lenticular 3D Star Wars Poster

UK-based company Synthetic Dimensions has gotten the rights to create a fully licensed lenticular 3D recreation of the original Star Wars Poster. I’m not exactly sure how they’ve done it, but they used the Synthetic Dimensions’ proprietary Syndimation process to convert the original 2D painting used in 1977 to promote the Star Wars. This unique, deep 3D lenticular poster is 47cm x 67cm (18.5″ x 26.5″ approx) requires no 3D glasses. I’ve seen some incredibly dimensional 3D posters in my day, so don’t let that crappy Speed Racer one-sheet scare you away from the lenticular processes. The company plans on selling the poster for only £12.99, or what translates into around $25 American (I’m sure there will be some shipping feeds as well). I’ll keep you guys updated on when this becomes publicly available. But for now check out the YouTube video after the jump to see some of the depth and detail Syndimation is hoping to show in the poster.

    Probably because Lucas is re-re-releasing the OrigTril In 3D.

    That animation of it literally stopped me in my tracks with a "Whoa!"
    That is pretty fricken cool!
  • Hellen
    Forget the poster, that 3-D flash at the top of this post is awesome!
  • MaK
    i would love to buy a 3D poster but not a Star Wars one.
  • I'd love the poster, but Han Solo and Leia did not wield light sabers. They should be holding blasters. Nuff said, game over.

    (kidding, i want one anyway!)
  • Joey Boots
    Snaggy - they are holding blasters, the blasters are firing.

    Poster is awesome!!!
  • DOOOOOSH
    LOL THEY AREN'T HOLDING LIGHSABERS.....
  • ooops! me bad... had a migraine earlier and missed the blasters. doh

    nice free-fusible version on the manufacturers website too.

    That animation at the top of the page is running Apple Quicktime
  • Chris
    Why is Death Star rotating? This ruins the whole effect.. They should do their homework in geometry
  • Henry
    What have they done to Carrie Fisher's face!? It's like she's expanding!
  • Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for all the great comments! We are all really excited about this project. We are releasing a range of 3D posters and some other cool stuff I can't talk about yet. Only this is Star Wars related so far. The rest are sports related. If the Star Wars poster sells well we shall produce more Star Wars items.

    Incidentally, the image is the original painting from 1977. The artist obviously had little reference material to work from. We have made some minor adjustments to a couple of things to try and make it more accurate (the dish in the Death Star was painted as if it was a dome!), but there are some things we couldn't change (Vader's saber hilt).
  • That poster is incredible! You've got to love technology... even if it is just for creating cool posters. I love it!
  • They are FINALLY available to buy. If anyone here's interested, please stop by our website and check them out.

    Thanks again for all the kind words.
