Abstract: For connection to a color television capable of producing red, blue and gn video signals representative of a real time 360.degree. scene, a 360.degree. color panoramic laser projection system wherein the outputs of red, blue and green lasers are modulated from the respective red, blue and green video output signals through a modulator system in order that the laser beams will carry the video information of the pickup video signals but at a greater visual intensity, together with a reflector mixer system to combine said laser outputs to a common beam and a 360.degree. scan, reflector and display screen system moving said common beam continuously through 360.degree. and in vertical scan to provide a reproduction of the original television pickup scene on a 360.degree. display screen.

Abstract: A synthetic motion generator system including a TV camera positioned to rrd a still life scene and a TV monitor connected to receive video signals from the TV camera and in which the vertical and/or horizontal sweep input to the camera is modulated by apparatus including a tuneable oscillator, a sawtooth generator and logic converter and sample and hold circuitry to provide to the camera sweep circuit a modulating signal which is a multiple of the television frame rate, plus or minus a few cycles per second, to thereby generate desired motion in the monitor display image. The invention is particularly applicable to the generation of sea wave motion from a still seascape scene and in this environment the invention includes not only the development of wave motion, but of speed and amplitude control as well as apparent direction variation.
