BEYOND THE THIRD DIMENSION writes

We have a lenticular scanning camera that is used to scan images directly
off a computer or video monitor for Animation, 3D with Animation or 3D.
This system produce an interleaved 3D and or Animated lenticular image. We
believe that the Skymotion Lenticular Cards were produced by one of our
clients in London for Skybox using our system.  Should any one have an
interest in our system please reply.  Thankyou
