                Appeal No. 96-3637                                                                                                         
                Application No. 08/248,123                                                                                                 




                                                       DECISION ON APPEAL                                                                  



                                This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 1-15, all the claims pending in the                      

                application.                                                                                                               



                                The invention pertains to a method and apparatus to display video images.  Claim 1 is                      

                illustrative and reads as follows:                                                                                         

                                An apparatus to display video images for a user comprising:                                                

                                circuitry for generating a sequence of frames of video signals from the video images                       
                from a prerecorded source of frames, said sequence of frames corresponding to different points of view                     
                of a scene;                                                                                                                

                                circuitry for determining a first direction that said user is facing by a first directional                
                signal indicative of said first direction that said user is facing;                                                        

                                circuitry for storing a first portion of said sequence of frames from said prerecorded                     
                source of said frames in accordance with said first direction that said user is facing in a first memory;                  

                                circuitry for determining a second direction that said user is facing by a second                          
                directional signal indicative of said second direction that said user had been facing;                                     

                                circuitry for storing a second portion of said sequence of frames from said prerecorded                    
                source of said frames in accordance with said second directional signal indicative of said second                          
                direction that said user had been facing in a second memory;                                                               


                                2
