<p>An apparatus and method for creating an illusion of animation. A plurality of discrete images (1) are provided in spaced apart relationship (2). A person, camera, or other image receiving means (3) travels past the images, by walking, riding in a vehicle, etc. As the person travels, each image is consecutively able to be viewed by the person - either, by a louvre or other physical viewing means, or, by being illuminated by a stroboscopic light or the like. When the images are viewed at a high enough rate, the images are processed by the visual system of the person such that an effect of movement or animation is perceived. The invention is considered particularly useful for advertising - to create the effect of movement using a series of still pictures. The invention may be used in railway tunnels, on billboards, etc., or may be provided about a race track or sports stadium, such that the person, or a motion picture camera may capture the animated effect.</p> |
