Bob writes in digest 1139 about the LEEP system (Large Expanse-Extra Perspective),
developed by Eric Howlett,

>....."Nevertheless... I know I don't have any viewers like this. Do you? 

Yes, Bob.

Paul Wing does. He showed it briefly at ISU-congress in Paris in 91. He has the camera as well. Only a few prototypes was ever made. 

>Could this be one of the primary reasons that larger images, with larger viewers, with larger lenses are more appealing? 

The aim as I see it, was to get rid of the stereo window. With the wide field of view we
experience a much more realistic impression of reality, perhaps something like IMAX have created with their SOLIDO 3D Cinema system. 

>Hmmm... Stereoscopic Immersion... hadn't really thought about it. 

The LEEP concept was later brought into VR development. The VR concept so far, lack the "R", the need for very high resolution images.
