To which Abram Klooswyk replied

As others explained, of course all is possible.
I would strongly recommand first to try the Over-Under system.
The first to propose this system is (to my knowledge) van Albada,
almost 100 years ago. (I would be happy to hear of erlier occurences).

I canot remember if it was earlier than this but in Lenny Liptons book "The
Foundations of the Stereoscopic Cinema" he reproduces some early patents
for stereoscopic Zoetropes . One variation of which apears to consist of an
over-under 360 degree panorama wrapped around the outside of the drum .This
is viewed with an over-under viewer( which uses mirrors much like the
modern view magic viewer )while the drum is rotated .
 To return to A Amundsons original post I think he may have also mentioned
lenticulars himself and this would seem to be a posibility or perhaps even
a multiplex hologram.     P.J.Homer
