Abstract

A dynamic art form display displays electronic and optical art, pictures and movies using various display alteration methods in conjunction with flat electronic and optical wall and hand-held, portable display devices. The display alteration methods include light phasing, image propagation, time of day synchronization and combinations thereof. Viewer, environmental and automated control of the display, including a programmable borders and frames, are provided. User controls come in a variety of options such as voice commands and push buttons, and may be completely hidden in the form of voice or touch screen input. Environmental inputs come in a number of forms including amount of light present (light phasing), human viewer proximity and noise level. Automated control comes in the form of programmed parameters such as time of day, image propagation, image propagation rate, display duration, display intensity, volume level and display selection. A wide spectrum of electronic and optical art form media input sources are accommodated, including removable media such as CD-ROM, DVD, digital cameras, memory flash cards and removable disks, and non removable media such as the Internet, other computer networks, modems, computers, satellites, cable television, pagers, and video phones. Power can be self contained, externally supplied and is managed and controlled through user selectable functions. This invention removes major restrictions from existing art, picture and movie displays and allows new art, picture and movie forms to be formed and displayed at a consumer product level.
