Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0127908A1] Apparatus is provided for displaying still images that appear animated to viewers in motion relative to those images. The apparatus (1700) includes a plurality of images (1730A, 1730B) mounted on a surface (1723), and a slitboard (1722) mounted between that surface and the viewer. As viewers pass by, the slitboard acts like a shutter creating an animation effect. Multiple animation effects are created by interspersing and mounting multiple series of still images on the surface. Each series of still images is viewable from a different angle relative to viewers passing by. The still images can be arranged such that all series of images are viewable while passing by the apparatus in the same direction. Alternatively, the images can be arranged such that some series are viewable from one direction while others are viewable from the opposite direction.
