Abstract
A method for manufacturing a synthetic image device includes providing of a focusing element array. An image layer is arranged in a vicinity of a focal distance of focusing elements of the focusing element array, whereby a synthetic image composed of enlarged portions of the image layer becomes perceivable for a viewer. The image layer includes an array of image cells, each being associated with a respective focusing element and wherein the array of image cells has a same symmetry and element distance as the focusing element array. The arranging includes creating continuous image objects within the image cells such that synthetic images to be viewed, all having contributions from one of the continuous image objects, present smooth successive non-parallax alterations upon changing a viewing direction. This creation is performed according to an array of digital image cells of a digital image layer model.
