In fact the pin-hole array has been known for 8000 years or so and the lenticular arrays were used in the 15th century by the Vatican. Three D television is coming too, and 3d computer screens so 3d photography will become common. The problem is the size of the lens it has to quite big to cover the scene. 12 meters is about right for townscapes and landscapes, for portraits I would think a lenticular array of at least a 1 x 1.5 meter rectangle would be needed. A pin-hole array of 100x100 holes could be made with aluminum foil punched with 10,000 holes and then put this over a positive film about 1 cm away with a lens cap to control the exposure. When you have an image, you can project it with a similar array. You see the image by looking at the array of pin holes. Each pin hole has an image behind it and the rays from the image are straight and pass through the hole the eye and brain sort out a 3D image. I cannot work out if inversions of some sort needs to be made. The full description is in the English bible, they were sold by Jesus and were made by putting a lattice of wooden laths across the open end of a small box with a sheet of painted multiple images behind the lattice. The story is known as the parable of the lattice. I think it was Jesus' sales pitch. "It is not a person or a person's spirit it is an image that you can see" The sale was against God's commandment "Though shall not worship graven images". The lattice is not banned by the Vatican. The problem is realism. Lattice TV has also been demonstrated. The Roman ones usually showed a nude woman in woody landscapes. Chris.
