   I personally find it hard to get even my family to put on glasses
 or look through a viewer.  I feel that the general public really
 only appreciates auto stereoscopic still images. You are correct 
 That lenticulars have limits, But have you ever seen a  large format
 backlit lenticular they are very impressive.

   I have been thinking of ways  motion parallax in lenticulars, not 
 lenticular animations but something like mounting a print to a glass 
 plate with a pivot points  at middle top and bottom, then using a 
 transducer on the left edge,  rapidly cycling 3 narrow base images
 to the  viewer, seeing 12,23,12,23,12.....  ????? would this be 
 motion parallax and what frequency range might work?
  This might just be a blurry mess? I have only tried a quick test with
 a speaker for a transducer but don't have a frequency generator and
 could not adjust the travel distance.

Thanks for letting indulge in my fantasy quest for autostereoscopic total
immersion .

 Thanks Bill S.
