1. A device for creating three-dimensional image effects and which receives an image as two separate image pathways spaced apart along a horizontal axis, the device comprising:

  • an intermittent image pathway occluder which receives the two image pathways, and which alternately and intermittently occludes the two image pathways;

    a horizontal imaging-shifting component for shifting at least one of the two image pathways leftward or rightward along a horizontal axis, and comprising at least one horizontal image-shifting element which is positioned to receive and shift at least one of the two image pathways leftward or rightward;

    a vertical imaging-shifting component for shifting the two image pathways upward and downward along a vertical axis, and comprising an upward image-shifting element and a downward image-shifting element, wherein the upward image-shifting element is positioned to receive and shift one of the two image pathways upward and wherein the downward image-shifting element is positioned to receive and shift the other of the two image pathways downward; and

    an image pathway compositing component which forms a coincident superimposed composite three-dimensional image after the two image pathways have been shifted by the horizontal imaging-shifting component and the vertical imaging-shifting component, and after the two image pathways have been alternately and intermittently occluded by the intermittent image pathway occluder.
