I-Art Corp. will be releasing their I-Magic Print software package in
August for the PC and printer setup.  It is supposed to do lenticular
"stereoscopic pictures," "flipping pictures," and "motion sequence"
sets.  Evidently the set comes with some stock photos like the leaning
tower of pisa that you can composite your own photos with.

The web page at http://www.iart3d.com/iart/iarte/home/home.htm says this
edition of the software is in Chinese but they have released English
versions of all their other products and the promo stuff gives and email
address for queries about the English edition of this one.

The "internet" price on the web page is NT$1,880 (around US$60 or so,
you can find the current exchange rate and do the math).  They also have
a shipping and handling charge listed at NT$1,295 which I assume is for
overseas shipping.  I would assume the English version will be
comparable in price.  Kenny Sung (ksung@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) can probably
give more info since he works at the company.

I have used their VR Works programs for a couple years and have found
the suite to be rather easy to use and worthwhile (they use wireless LCS
shutter glasses for the computer).  When we finally get our digital
camera in Sept. I will most likely be getting their camcorder adaptor as
well -- assuming a better one doesn't show up before then. :-) Finally
got a CD R/RW so can start burning mini movies and albums so there's
more incentive to get the camera and stereo adaptor. :-)
