INTELLIGENT METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING AND DISPLAYING STEREOSCOPICALLY-MULTIPLEXED IMAGES OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS FOR USE IN REALISTIC STEREOSCOPIC VIEWING THEREOF IN INTERACTIVE VIRTUAL REALITY DISPLAY ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

An intelligent system and process for producing and displaying stereoscopically-multiplexed images of either real or synthetic 3-D objects, for use in realistic stereoscopic viewing thereof. The system comprises a subsystem for acquiring parameters specifying the viewing process of a viewer positioned relative to a display surface associated with a stereoscopic display subsystem. A computer-based subsystem is provided for producing stereoscopically-multiplexed images of either the real or synthetic 3-D objects, using the acquired parameters. The stereoscopically-multiplexed images are on the display surface, for use in realistic stereoscopic viewing of either the real or synthetic 3-D objects, by the viewer.
