I saw the most *amazing* "3D" black and white photocopy of an advertisement by PENTICA. It looked like a random patern of squiggles in a box with 2 large black dots above. When you shift the focus of your eyes to make the 2 dots overlap, this flat XEROX'd picture turns 3D. It's like you're looking through a window to a picture about 1 foot below the paper with letters and numbers at various heights above the picture. Does anyone know how this was done? Is there PC software that will let you build these and print them on a laser printer? Is there a collection of these? Who did the theory and development? Does it require more resolution than exists on a VGA display? IS there a dynamic/moving version? I requested more information from PENTICA, but I don't expect a very detailed reply.
