1. A multi-dimensional array processor system for generating a three dimensional image comprising:
- (a) a video memory for storing image data representative of substantially all of said image, said image data being organized as a plurality of planes, each said plane corresponding to a two-dimensional slice of said image, wherein each said slice is independent of other of said slices and each said plane having a plurality of voxel data uniquely corresponding to individual display voxels; and
(b) a processor connected to receive encoded video information and operative to generate and store predetermined portions of one or more of said planes of said image into said memory.

Abstract
A digitized video system having a processor and a video memory. The processor converts a stream of digital information to extract planes of a three dimensional image to store into the video memory to display a three dimensional image. A spatial light modulator is connected to the video memory to receive and display a plane of said image to display a three dimensional image.
