The ''Mind's Eye'' series consists of several package art films rendered using computer-generated imagery of varying levels of sophistication. The main series consists of 4 titles that were released between 1990 and 1996. The series was released on VHS (by BMG) and LaserDisc (by Image Entertainment) and later re-released on DVD (by Simitar Entertainment). A number of Odyssey's videos additionally contain oblique references to the ''Mind's Eye'' series in their titles.
