Simulated three-dimensional display using bit-mapped information

摘要

A computer-controlled display provides a two dimensional simulation of a three dimensional scene while providing for relatively low computing load. Data which is used in determining scaling of figures placed against a background scene and/or used to determine, pixel by pixel, relative occlusion of a figure with respect to features of a scene (or other figures) are largely precalculated and stored so that little or no calculation of these three dimensional characteristics needs to be performed on the fly.
