The Nimslo records four images per stereo picture, which are then
printed on four interleaved strips on a lenticular print.  In other words,
the Nimslo print (which is thicker than ordinary prints and has a plastic
rigidity to it) contains images from multiple viewpoints.  These strip
images are so set into the print that they are visible at slightly different
angles, thus giving the impression of depth as the observer`s head is
moved.

Kodak published a 3D print made this way (pre-Nimslo) on the cover of
one of its annual reports a few years ago, and there were trials of a
similar movie system, using a lenticular screen, in the USSR about twenty
years ago.
