VIRTUAL MOVING SCREEN FOR RENDERING THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGE
First Claim
1. A method of producing multiple three-dimensional images to create an optical illusion of movement, comprising the steps of:
- a. energizing particles suspended within a volumetric display sequentially along the length and width of the volumetric display through projection of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths, the energized particles forming a two-dimensional image;
b. intersecting the energized particles through projection of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the depth of the volumetric display;
c. synchronizing the projection of electromagnetic energy along the length and width of the volumetric display with the projection of electromagnetic energy along the depth of the volumetric display for a pre-determined length of time forming an illuminated three-dimensional image; and
d. repeating steps a, b and c for each of the plurality of three-dimensional images using a predetermined scanning sequence to create the optical illusion of movement.

12. A method of producing a permanent image within a substrate, comprising the steps of:
-
a. energizing material within the substrate sequentially along the length and width of the substrate through projection of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths, the energized material forming a two-dimensional image; b. intersecting the energized material through projection of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the depth of the volumetric display to cause a permanent visual modification to the energized material forming the two-dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A light surface display for providing a three-dimensional image, comprising:
-
a plurality of particles suspended within a volumetric display; a first projection system projecting sequential slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths along the length and width of the volumetric display energizing particles to form a two-dimensional image; a second projection system projecting translational slices of electromagnetic energy of one or more wavelengths intersecting with the energized particles across the depth of the volumetric display; a control system synchronizing the projection of the image source and the activation source such that the two-dimensional image and the translational slices energize the particles for a pre-determined length of time so that the particles illuminate to form an illuminated three dimensional image; and a magnifier device receiving the illuminated three dimensional image, magnifying the illuminated three dimensional image and outputting a magnified illuminated three dimensional image having an appearance larger than the illuminated three dimensional image. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
