Abstract
Successive frames or images of an input image that are presented to the output device are individually halftoned. A starting location within the input image for tiling one of one or more halftone techniques over the frame or image is determined. The starting location is then offset from the previously used starting location after a certain number of frames or images have been halftoned. Any halftoning technique may be used to halftone the frames or images. The halftoned frames or images are then viewed in a sequence in time.
