Patent ID: 6870596

Claim:
A moving picture system for viewing from a vehicle travelling along a fixed path at a substantially constant speed V, the system comprising: a plurality of static images; image mounts mounting the images along one side of the fixed path, each image having a width W p and being spaced from the adjacent images by a spacing W i , the dimensions W p and W i being related to the vehicle speed by ( W p +W i )≧ V/R where R is the viewing rate of the images and is greater than or equal to 24 images per second; and a static illumination system for illuminating each of the images intermittently, and including a single trigger responsive to the approach of the vehicle to cause all of the images to be illuminated simultaneously at a fixed frequency greater than 24 Hz, wherein each image is spaced from the vehicle by a distance D and wherein the ratio W p :D is substantially constant from image to image.
