Abstract: A single camera autostereoscopic recording system includes a single image recorder having a single optical path moved along a scanning path defined by a pair of rails and an arm movable on the rails substantially continuously for a plurality of scanning cycles. Alternatively a lens maintains the point of convergence. A path defining structure includes the ability to adjust the convergent point as well as the extent of travel along the scanning path or disparity of the images. The convergent point of the scanning path can be manually or automatically adjusted using a range finder. A unique driver structure including a reciprocating armature and stator provides scanning motion with reduced reactional forces. The degree of motion of the recorded images is used to adjust the amount of travel along the scanning path. Synchronization between the driver and the recorder is bi-directional for double exposures.

Abstract: The method and apparatus substantially continuously changes the view of a single image receive substantially aligned to a convergent point in a scene, along a scanning path and recording a plurality of scanning images for each cycle of traversing the scanning path. The scanning path and the scanning and recording rates are selected to produce motion within visio-psychological memory rate range when displayed using standard display devices.
