Hey Disney,
have I got your attention for you licensing this tech yet? ;)

What's a Zoetrope?

What's a Zoetrope?

What's an Andotrope?

Similar to Zoetrope, but:
  • Uses screens not still pictures so it can show infinitely-long animations
  • Uses only a few screens/slits so you don't see multiple animations at once
  • Rotates much faster to make up for using fewer screens/slits
  • Designed to display an omnidirectional, bill-boarding holographic video to multiple simultaneous viewers from all directions

Potential Andotrope Improvements

  • Wireless charging
  • Anaglyph/Red-blue-glasses 3D
  • Polarised-glasses 3D
  • Different numbers of screens

  • Polarised-glasses 3D
  • Different numbers of screens
  • Small phone screens to much bigger displays
  • Synchronised frame interleaving
  • Directional image display
  • Different screen technologies
  • Partially transparent/other shape enclosures


 
 
 
 
 
One final thing...

That's it!


 
I hope you enjoyed my Andotrope-based rendition of Gehn's Holographic Imager.
