1. A method for optimizing the viewing distance of a lenticular stereogram, comprising:
- determining the optimum pitch value for selected viewing distances from the stereogram;
creating a pitch table whereby the viewing distances are associated with their respective optimum pitch values; and
using the pitch table to create interdigitated views for each viewing distance.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for optimizing viewing distance for a stereogram system. In a stereogram, an image is held in close juxtaposition with a lenticular screen. In the invention, a data store is used to store optimum pitch values for specified viewing distances. An interdigitation program then acts on the table values and creates a mapping of interdigitated views for each viewing distance. The user can then select or specify a desired viewing distance, and the optimum mapping of views is automatically chosen for display.

2. A stereogram system providing an image in close juxtaposition with a lenticular screen, comprising:
-
a data store arranged as a table whereby specified viewing distances from the stereogram are associated with a respective optimum pitch value for the lenticular screen; and
an interdigitation program that acts on the table and creates a mapping of interdigitated views for each viewing distance based on the optimum pitch values. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
