About
[edit]Dunkley was born on August 21, 1939, in New York.[2][3] Dunkley, who has a Master's degree in Physics, conducted research in human vision that led to his discovery that a 2-dimensional picture would appear as 3-dimensional if two points in a person's peripheral vision were blocked.[2][4] This discovery led to future improvements of 3D viewing glasses and the technology we use to view films today.[5][6]
Known as both a visual pioneer and a leader in the field of holography, Dunkley is the president of Holospace Laboratories Inc. and conducts visual effects workshops at the Museum of Scientific Discovery in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.[4] Dunkley also has experience as a Microsoft and robotics application trainer.[2]
