I have always loved lenticular photography and would like to see it come back.  
The main reason I don't think it is as popular right now is the secrecy of the 
process.  I think it would be fun to try it sometime but so far haven't tracked 
down EXACTLY how it is done or a good source for the screens.  If it isn't 
accessible, it will die.  If a company comes out and markets the knowledge and 
screen technology at a really good price, I think you would see a big resurgence
in this type of imagery.  People who have seen some of my collection of 60's 
lenticulars think they are really great so the interest is there.
