I would have gone gaga if I had known about these folks five years ago, when I was with a group trying to develop a lenticular computer monitor. Having said that, these seem like pretty coarse screens. I think Nimslo prints have 200 lenses per inch, and my fussy wife considers that pretty poor resolution.

One of the people in our group had a fancy MacIntosh and was able to create a picture on the screen where alternate columns of pixels were from the left and right picture, respectively. 

I'm afraid you are asking too much of them; clearly they only make the stuff. Having found a source of the raw material, your next step is to find people that can help you use it. I would volunteer, except that I'm just in the process of resurrecting my darkroom, and I fear that my hair might just turn gray before I have it up and running. As far as getting software, there is a newsgroup called "comp.sources.pc", or something like that.

Just to satisfy my curiosity, how big do you want your pictures to be, and how many stripes per lens?
