MULTIPLANAR AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC IMAGING SYSTEM

摘要

A moving two-dimensional display surface is used to display a three-dimensional image by repeatedly scanning multiple light beams (34) across the surface (18) as the surface sweeps out a display volume (10). The intensity of the beams is matched to the motion of the display surface and the scanning of the beams to display the three-dimensional image. In one embodiment, a rotating planar translucent material for the display surface (18) and a rotating multifaceted mirror (24) are used to scan the beams. In another embodiment, the three-dimensional image is formed inside a transparent material at the points of intersection of a moving two-dimensional beam and multiple light beams scanning through material. The motion of the two-dimensional beam and the scanning of the individual light beams are controlled by using optical elements whose properties respond to control signals.
