1. A digitally controlled synthetically generated motion display system in which successively displayed frames of information provide an illusion of motion comprising first digital computer means for providing digital background words representative of information elements that comprise nonsuccessive frames and of the locations of said elements in said frames and for further providing digital incremental words representative of incremental motions of said information elements between successive frames, second digital computer means responsive to said background and incremental words for combining said incremental words with said background words to provide incremented words defining said successive frames, transmission means coupled said first digital computer means to said second digital computer means for transmitting said background and incremental words therebetween, and display means coupled to said second digital computer means for displaying said successive frames in response to said incremented words, thereby displaying a succession of frames providing an illusion of motion.
