Abstract
A process is used to produce the visual perception of spatial structure through manipulations of images displayed on an essentially flat screen. The same images are presented simultaneously to both eyes. The images are derived from small discrete shifts in the local apparent viewing angle; these shifts occur perceptually in direction and time, like saccades. The nature of the shifts, the interrelationship of the magnitude of the shifts and the duration between shifts are selected to convey motion parallax sensations to a viewer. The process can be applied to cathode-ray displays, motion pictures, and similar essentially flat displays.
