Lenticular Graphic for the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum
This digital mural was produced as a lenticular graphic for the San Jose Children's Discovery Museum's new exhibit "Mammoth Discovery." The mural depicts a Pleistocene version (approx. 10,000 years ago) of the landscape that is now modern day downtown San Jose. (©Beth Zaiken)
A lenticular graphic shows two images at once, and shifts into just one or the other depending on where you are standing. The graphic switches from a photograph of downtown to the prehistoric landscape, like a hologram, it changes as you walk by.
