Familial lenticular image

Abstract

A chronological age altering lenticular image is comprised of a first photograph ( 62 ) of an individual at a first age ( 64 ). A second photograph ( 66 ) of the individual at a second age ( 68 ) and a third photograph ( 70 ) of the individual at a third age ( 72 ) are included in the composite which comprise the lenticular image. The first, second, and third photographs show the individual at progressively older stages in the individuals life. In another embodiment the first, second, and third photographs show the individual at progressively younger stages in that individuals life.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A familial lenticular image comprising: 
 a first image of a first individual;    a second image of a second individual wherein said second individual is related to said first individual;    a plurality of computer generated morphed images wherein each of said plurality of morphed images shows a progressive stage of morphing between said first individual and said second individual.    
     
     
         2 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein a software program resizes a second image of said second individual to approximately a size of said first image of said first individual.  
     
     
         3 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein a software program centers a position of said second individual in said second image to a relative position in said second image to approximately the same relative position of said first individual in said first image.  
     
     
         4 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 3  wherein said positions are centered based on a relative position of said subject's eyes.  
     
     
         5 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein a background color in each of said images is standardized.  
     
     
         6 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein morphing software generates additional images between said first and second image so that said first individual appears to transition at a regular rate from said first individual to said second individual.  
     
     
         7 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 6  wherein morphing software generates additional images between said second and a third image of a third individual so that said second individual appears to transition at regular intervals from said second individual to said third individual; and 
 wherein said third individual is related to said second individual.  
 
     
     
         8 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein rotation of said lenticular image causes said first individual to appear to transition to said second individual.  
     
     
         9 . A familial lenticular image as in  claim 1  wherein rotation of said lenticular image causes said second individual to appear to transition to said first individual.  
     
     
         10 . A lenticular image comprising: 
 a first image of a first individual;    a second image of a second individual; and    a plurality of morphed images wherein each of said plurality of morphed image shows a progressive stage of morphing between said first individual and said second individual.
