While working with some of the pioneers of holography, Dan created a special spotlight that was used by Soho’s Museum of Holography to light holograms. The related field of holography led to Dan’s interest in lenticular art and, in turn, after nearly a decade of research and experimentation, to the creation of his “Motion Viewer,” his third patent in that field and the inspiration for Safari and the other Photicular books.
"Through its innovative lenticular process, sliding lenses, and video imagery, Photicular technology takes readers on a stunning journey via full-color fluid motion. POLAR brings us into places unknown by exploring the ends of the earth, the Arctic and Antarctic. There's a walrus lumbering across the snow; a sled dog team sprinting directly at the viewer; the miracle of the northern lights. Science writer Carol Kaufmann pens a lively essay for each image, including the animal's vital statistics."
