           Appeal No. 2005-2766                                                                      
           Application No. 09/682,659                                                                
                 14.   A system for stereoscopic viewing of an image,                                
                 comprising:                                                                         
                       means for displaying upon a generally flat surface                            
                 a conventional stereoscopic pair of images, proximate                               
                 but separately from one another;                                                    
                       means for improving the stereoscopic match between                            
                 the two images as viewed, by distorting at least one of                             
                 the images; and                                                                     
                       an optical device adapted to be placed in front of                            
                 and proximate to a viewer's eyes, which device is worn                              
                 by the viewer or held by the viewer as though worn, and                             
                 comprising means for re-angling the optical axis for at                             
                 least one eye, so that each eye generally targets the                               
                 center of a respective one of the pair of images.                                   
                 41.   An image display structure for displaying upon a                              
                 generally flat surface, comprising:                                                 
                       a conventional stereoscopic pair of images, the                               
                 images proximate but separate from one another, wherein                             
                 at least one image is deliberately distorted prior to                               
                 display, to counteract distortion caused by the                                     
                 viewer’s perspective relative to the image.
