1. A system for displaying a volumetric three dimensional image of a three-dimensional scene having a virtual depth DV, comprising:

  • (a) a controller for generating data representing a series of two dimensional slices at varying depths through said three dimensional scene;

    (b) a multi-surface optical device having a physical depth DD including a plurality of optical elements; and

    (c) an image projector responsive to said data for selectively projecting said series of two dimensional slices on respective optical elements of said multi-surface optical device to display a first volumetric three dimensional image viewable in the multi-surface optical device, wherein the virtual depth DV of said three dimensional scene is mapped to correspond to the physical depth DD of said multi-surface optical device; and

    (d) a projector for projecting the first volumetric three dimensional image formed in the multi-surface optical device to generate a second volumetric three dimensional image viewable in a space outside of said multi-surface optical device.
