Kenneth Dunkley

Kenneth Dunkley earned a significant place in the history of black inventors by creating Three Dimensional Viewing Glasses (3-DVG). This patented invention displays 3-D effects from regular 2-D photos without any type of lenses, mirrors or optical elements. By studying human vision, Dunkley discovered that blocking two points in a person's peripheral vision will cause an ordinary picture to appear 3-Dimensional. His 3-DVG was developed to block out these points. Dunkley now conducts visual effects workshops at the Museum of Scientific Discovery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This noted African American inventor is also a leader in the field of holography.
