There is no way for anybody to see Alioscopy at work but in the inventor
lab in Paris. No images on the net.

Images should be made by some adapted recording device (movie or video cam,
scanner, endoscop, computer=8A) according to the Alioscopy hardware and
software principles. They just need a small adaptation but they do need it.
To view the images, you'd need a "special" hyperbolic lenticular screen to
place on the computer monitor. The inventor designed and made himself the
ones he is using and no others are available. Making more of them is a
matter of industrialisation.The monitor itself (or some other display
system) should be tuned according to certain specifications=8A

Quite enough with big, large lenses like those used for aerial photography.
"Don't try to fool your brain or it will make you sick sooner or later",
says the inventor. Maybe not yourself, with your 3D trained brain, but you
can't take chances with the public.

No, i'm not. I'm some kind of public relation and commercial agent. I
mostly contact people and arrange demos here, in Paris, France.

Thanks for him. You surely understand now why there is only one patent in
the US and in english up to now. The others are on the way, undergoing
internationalisation procedures. You also probably know that patent
international legislations have changed recently (I have no details).As
time is money (the longer it takes the less it costs), Pierre Allio is in
no hurry.
I'm now gathering "official informations" about them to be sent later.
Right now, I post a Pierre Allio document  : "GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
OUR APPROACH".

Indeed, Pierre Allio did not invent television, nor lenticular screen, nor
real time digital treatment, nor CCD chips=8A

Yes, we know. Those science fiction systems don't do any good to 3D.

I can't say anything about this. Technique is not my part.

Pierre Allio doesn't want to create a company and actually make products
himself. What he is looking for today are licensees with industrial
capabilities committed to develop and market specific applications, just
like he did with Sextant Avionics : Buying licences for all the patents,
they have the exclusive Alioscopy rights in aeronautics, for the world and
the patents life time.

To all, Regards.
