Dan Shelly replies to my query:

OK, I can see how by selecting different pairs of images depending on
viewing angle, a lent can give you a sort-of "holographic" effect, with
the perspective changing slightly as you rotate the lent.

But it seems to me that it should be *possible* at least, to use two
full-frame 35mm images, since the Nimslo and Nishika both expose only
this much film (four half-frame images).  These images would be taken
at a normal stereo base.

If one then used the lenticular material as a sort of "barrier-strip"
display mechanism, one should consequently get an image with much more
apparent depth (because of the normal stereo base), albeit viewable
from only one angle.

Is this essentially correct, or am I missing something key about the
lenticular process?
