ABSTRACT:
A system displays a collection of stationary images as a motion picture to passengers traveling in a vehicle along a pathway. In a first embodiment, the vehicle moves at a known speed and known distance from the images. The images, placed in parallel along the walls of the pathway of the vehicle, are adapted in number, size, and spacing for a vehicle traveling at the known speed and at the known distance from images on one or both sides of the vehicle such as to maintain an approximately constant viewing rate and perceived size of the images. In an alternate configuration, a speed sensor monitors speed of the vehicle to determine the appropriate cycling rate of the images. In a preferred embodiment, the images themselves are cycled intermittently with a blank image while remaining steadily illuminated by an illumination system.
