I have been working on developing an interface to bring my character into a physical environment for 5194. I was hoping I could use the result to provoke a genuine response from an unscripted audience for the final shot in my Tuba-goose project. I hoped I could build something with the lenses I have, order a custom lens (they are only $12 a foot + the price to cut), or create a parallax barrier. Unfortunately, creating a high quality lens does not seem possible with the materials I have (2 of the sample packs of 8" X 10" lenses Microlens sends with bulk orders of 50+ lenses), and a parallax barrier blocks light exponentially based on the number of viewing angles (2 views blocks 50%, 3 blocks 66%... 10 views blocks 90%).
I am going to try a patch that blends pixels to fix the problem with the lines on the screen not lining up with the lenses (it basically blends interlaces to make a non integral number of pixels with the lines per inch of the lens).
Worse case scenatio... A ready to go lenticular monitor is $500, the lens designed to work with a 23" monitor is $200, and a 23 inch monitor with a pixel pitch of .270 mm is about $130.
Links I have found useful are...
