          Appeal No. 96-1445                                                          
          Application 08/371,684                                                      


               The bottom of col. 1 of Hirsch indicates that the prior                
          art utilized cathode ray tubes as a rotatable image projection              
          apparatus to a rotating screen.  However, the top of col. 2 of              
          this reference indicates that it was considered to have been                
          an advantage in Hirsch that a moving film projector would have              
          generated an entire sectional image at once, thus not                       
          requiring the use of scanning techniques as in the cathode ray              
          tube approach of the prior art to Hirsch.  The advantage was                
          that whole sectional images of scenes were displayed for an                 
          entire period of the screen movement to add increased detail                
          and image intensity to the viewer.  Color film was also taught              
          as well.  This analysis is basically repeated at col. 6,                    
          beginning at line 22.                                                       
               Although Hirsch would have indicated to the artisan that               
          the use of television images, which must inherently be scanned              
          in a rastor-scan approach, would have been a disadvantage for               
          such a three dimensional display system, Collender’s approach               
          allows TV signals to be conveyed in a three dimensional manner              
          to the viewer.  Collender’s approach allows successive whole                
          frames of television information to be scanned individually                 
          and successively for a viewer to enjoy in a three dimensional               
                                          5
