Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for three-dimensional display of a two-dimensional image such as that produced on a television screen or a photograph. The apparatus is an array of lens assemblies that are placed adjacent to the plane of the two-dimensional image. The lens assemblies comprise, in the preferred embodiment, an object lens, an image lens, and a semi-rigid transparent layer between the lenses. The apparatus can be modified to provide three-dimensional viewing of a projected image such as that produced by a slide projector by adding a secularly mirrored surface to the object lens.
