Patent Number: 8425992 
Title: Continuous Diorama 
Abstract:

Diorama having a focal zone and a plurality of inclined panels on which different areas of a two-dimensional image are displayed. The panels are disposed about the focal zone, which can be an area, a line, or a point, and the image flows continuously between the panels with no physical seams between areas of the image displayed on adjacent ones of the panels. The panels are rotated away from a seam line that extends between the focal zone and an outer edge of the image, and outwardly diverging edges of the panels along edges of the image created by the rotation are brought together along the seam line to tilt the panels to their inclined positions and create an enhanced perspective effect.
