Patent Images

1. ) A method for producing a perceived three-dimensional image of an object, said method comprising:

  • obtaining a retro-reflective screen, said screen having a known non-linear light reflection pattern;

    aligning at least two image projectors in a geometry so as to be able to project images onto said screen;

    simultaneously calculating separate two-dimensional images for projecting by each projector, said calculated images being determined from stereopair image information regarding the object and from said pattern and said geometry; and

    projecting said calculated images from said projectors onto said screen such that they reflect off said screen in a manner that produces a three-dimensional image of said object to a viewer at a known location.
