A bit late in these days of DVD players in the headrest, but the idea is simply to draw individual cartoon or movie frames into the "white stripe" lane divider.
Potentially two pictures actually, so you could see it either facing forward or backward.
Optional sound channel on the roadside
assistance radio station.

Like most things, your idea has already been subverted for the evil work of advertisers. [krelnik, Oct 04 2004]

I missed that last bit, could you rewind a little? |
|
| |
Oooh ohhh yes! And the same on railway sleepers! Big Croissant. |
|
| |
This had crossed my mind, but its just so problematic. |
|
| |
You need sound, but what if your not driving at the right speed? the sound will not synch. speed up and everything is in fast motion, radio won't accomodate. You'd need an independent sound player in the car, with the disc rotation speed connected to the speedometer, to calibrate the sound to your speed. |
|
| |
But, bun for the balls to post the idea, cause I never did, and now I feel the quiet lull of defeat knowing that I have too little faith in my fragile mind. |
|
| |
Optimum speed references right below speed limit signs. All but eliminates speeding and slow drivers. |

Wouldn't you need a flashing (clear-dark-clear-dark) windshield/screen for the film effect to work? |
|
| |
why would that be substantially different then a pack of white cards with drawings on them, as in the earliest animation effects I remember? |
|
| |
I love this idea. Road trip!!! |

Hey kids, lets go watch Cinderella! |

But daddy, I hate that stupid B movie on the way back. |

A whole new way to get carsick. + |

How lethal is this? You'd have to incorporate the Morbid Fascination Lane to deal with the crashes. Oo, that was shameless. I feel cheap. |
|
| |
Yeah, [harder]...my respect for you just plummeted. I thought you were better than that, man. |
|
| |
[theircompetitor] I see a difference between flipping cards that flash images at the same place and the moving stripes of a highway. I doubt that it will work unless you use a strobe light or blink in sequence. |
|
| |
[FarmerJohn] I'm not going to dispute that hitting 24frames/second at any kind of steady rate is problematic, but this is an HB idea, after all. You could plan for some average speed. |

Years ago the New York subway had an experiment where you saw a cartoon on the walls of the tunnel when the train was moving, it worked just fine, and I believe it was achieved by simply interspercing the pictures |
|
| |
Yeah, but the subway signs were backlit with stobe. So they flashed on and off in sync to the windows. You would have to have shutter glasses or shutter windows to get rid of the blur. |
|
| |
Couldn't I simply blink at the appropriate frequency? Might even make it more fun. |
|
| |
A subway version of this has been baked for use as an advertising medium. See link. |
|
| |
hmm, talk about sponsoring a highway. |
