Publication number: 20130187928Abstract: Display apparatus and process is provided for displaying a static source image in a manner that it is perceived as an animated sequence of images when viewed by an observer in relative motion to the apparatus. The source image is sliced or fractured to provide a plurality of image fractions of predetermined dimension. The fractions are redistributed in a predetermined sequence to provide an output image, which is placed in a preferably illuminated display apparatus provided with a mask. An observer in relative motion to the display apparatus, sequentially views a predetermined selection of image fractions through the mask, which are perceived by the observer as a changing sequence of images. Applying the concepts of persistence of vision, the observer perceives the reconstructed imagery as live action animation, a traveling singular image or series of static images, or changing image sequences, from a plurality of lines of sight.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2012Publication date: July 25, 2013Applicant: MIRAGE MOTION MEDIA INC.Inventor: Russell H.
