Apparatus for displaying still images that appear animated to viewers in
motion relative to those images includes a backboard, a plurality of images mounted
on a backboard, and a slitboard mounted between the backboard and the viewer. As
viewers pass by, the slitboard acts like a shutter creating an animation effect.
Various backboard and slitboard side profiles, such as, for example, parallel and
vertical, parallel and non-vertical, parallel and nonplanar, and nonparallel and
nonplanar, can be used to facilitate installation of the apparatus in spatially-constrained environments.
