I didn't actually see the stereo image device, but Bill Ewald keynote
speaker at the Rochester convention described it that evening and I think
he must have took part in inventing it, since he worked on alooot of things.
All I can remember was that it might not have had a lenticular screen
on the part that you view but I think I recollect that he mentioned
it used a lenticular lens inside the box. Maybe others on this list
will remember more than I did. Nevertheless it sounded like an interesting
device and am sorry I could not see it.
